About Me
I identify as a queer Afroboricua/Afrolatina cisgender woman. I received my Bachelors in Psychology from Universidad Interamericana in Puerto Rico in 2005. I then received my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix (Puerto Rico campus) in 2009. I have been working in the mental health field since 2013 and I have been working as a psychotherapist since 2017.
I am a licensed mental health counselor and AASECT certified sex therapist. I am licensed in New York, New Jersey and Puerto Rico. My practice is fully remote and all sessions are conducted via Zoom. I can provide therapy in English, Spanish or Spanglish and prefer a more informal approach to the therapeutic relationship. I believe in empowering the clients I serve and since they are the experts on themselves, I seek to create a collaborative style of therapy. I am known to drop F bombs in session and encourage my clients to speak freely about whatever is on their minds (F bombs optional).
My personality is a bit quirky and I bring all parts of myself to the space. I am a bit witchy and I love watching horror movies and listening to podcasts about psychology, horror and sexuality. I rematriated to Puerto Rico (Borikén) after living in New York for almost a decade and I've been working on reconnecting to ancestral wisdom and teachings of my Motherland.
About My Practice
I utilize a person-centered, non-judgmental, non-pathologizing, liberatory, feminist/mujerista, and intersectional approach to therapy. I encourage the clients I serve to customize their sessions to whatever works best for them, which can include the use of homework, bibliotherapy, podcasts, journaling, breathwork, meditation, movement, or ancestral healing practices.
I have an eclectic approach to therapy and often utilize aspects of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, Critical Race Theory, Liberation Psychology, Feminist Therapy, Queer Theory, Multicultural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Client Centered Therapy while operating under the framework of Mujerista Therapy.
