I’m So Glad You’re Here
ABOUT ME
I’m a first-generation, bilingual, Cuban American, born and raised in New Jersey., My background deeply influences how I show up in the therapy room—with warmth, empathy, and a deep respect for the stories we carry.
Outside of work, I’m a partner, a parent of three, and I keep the company of two Australian Shepherds and two cats.
My journey into psychology began unexpectedly — initially, I envisioned a career in veterinary medicine. However, a college psychology course sparked a passion that led me to this fulfilling path.
In addition to providing therapy, I also provide psychoeducation about therapy online and mentor young therapists seeking to improve their clinical skills.
“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard...It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me”
– Carl Rogers
MY TRAINING
I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and am licensed in both New Jersey and New York. I’m also a PSYPACT provider, which allows me to offer telehealth services across multiple states.
Over the years, I’ve provided bilingual (English and Spanish) clinical and forensic psychological evaluations, as well as therapy for people of all ages. My experience spans diverse settings—including outpatient clinics, inpatient units, partial hospitalization programs, psychiatric emergency rooms, and private practice.
I’ve had the privilege of training at respected institutions such as the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, and the Metro RDTC at Children’s Hospital of New Jersey.
In addition, I’ve conducted forensic evaluations for courts in New York and New Jersey, and have testified as an expert witness in New Jersey Superior Court.
