Therapists in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY
I am a licensed mental health counselor based in Brooklyn focused on creating authentic, collaborative relationships with my clients to foster intergenerational healing. I incorporate my training in complex trauma and somatic work to specialize in trauma, loss, and identity issues among immigrant, 1st and 2nd generation individuals. As a mixed race (Puerto Rican/Korean) second generation American, I appreciate and am a constant student in the complexities of identity, belonging, and the reality of how systemic inequality impacts someone’s ability to heal.

As humans, we all have an innate need for personal growth. As I see it, many of us live with a feeling that we have either been standing in one place for too long, or our lives around us are changing at a pace that we cannot control. In either event, it's common to feel overwhelmed, scared, anxious or depressed. However, these life events and circumstances can be amazing opportunities for growth.

With so many responsibilities and commitments, it can be challenging to make time for ourselves to reflect and think about life choices. At times, we may overlook our mental health and how various issues are affecting us. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can take time to learn about yourself.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to actively engage and work on obstacles that may be inhibiting personal growth and happiness. It is a therapist's job to be actively engaged in this process and to help in a way that is sensitive, constructive, and sensible. I feel that it's important to work on the identification of key issues, but to also find practical ways of moving forward. My approach draws upon various therapeutic techniques and modalities. I work diligently with each individual to ensure that we work with a technique that will be the most productive for the client.

The reality of your life and the expectations you held for it feel misaligned. You’re not sure how things have gotten to this point. From an early age, you were forced to confront challenges that shaped how you thought, felt, and interpreted your world. Without the proper coping skills to process your experiences, it became easier to simply detach from your feelings and disconnect from the world around you. This method of coping has helped you make it through tough times, but now it’s getting in the way of what you want out of life. You crave deep connection with yourself and others, you're just not sure how to find your way back.

Blending intuition and compassion I assist clients to gain a better understanding of themselves and their values and to identify patterns that hinder positive experiences and relationships. I am drawn towards a person-centered, experiential approach, in tandem with the application of tangible strategies and coping skills. In my work as a grief counselor, individually and in groups, I draw upon my personal experience moving through complicated grief, bringing the intersection of my clinical skill and lived experience of harnessing the healing benefits of empathic grief support.

I believe in building a genuine and compassionate connection with my patients. It is from there, that we can safely explore the rewarding, and often challenging process of therapy. We will work together to identify where you are feeling "stuck" or dissatisfied in your life and relationships, and discuss both the past and "here-and-now" to uncover the patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you.

As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals

My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis.

There’s nothing I find more gratifying than helping my clients redefining purpose in their lives. While we are in a constant struggle with the expectations of others, we often lose sight of who we are ourselves. We negotiate, toil, and sacrifice—sometimes without even knowing why. That’s why as a counselor, I specialize in navigating conflict and transitions within careers, relationships, and self-esteem to help clients regain ownership and rediscover meaning in life.
