About me- my style and approach
My practice, Point of View Counseling is built on compassion and inclusivity. As a Latina therapist, I’m passionate about working with minorities and providing a space where everyone feels seen and heard. My warmth and genuine care come through in every session, and I truly want to see my clients thrive. I’m here to gently challenge you for growth while making sure we create a safe space to work through the discomfort of change together.
In our work together, we’ll take things at your pace. We’ll look at the challenges you're facing and find ways to address them with compassion and understanding. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now, but with support, you can start making sense of it all and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Years of Compassionate Care
I am a New Jersey based therapist and founder of Point of View Counseling. I bring a wealth of expertise garnered from a diverse range of professional settings, including hospital environments, residential treatment facilities, intensive outpatient programs, in-home therapy, school counseling and clinical case management. I specialize in supporting women with anxiety, mood, women's health, infertility, life changes, relationships and trauma. I am a Certified Clinical Supervisor and am currently working toward certification in Brainspotting and Reproductive Grief Care.
Therapy with me is…
Authentic
I bring my real, down-to-earth self into the room so you can feel safe being fully yourself, too.
Compassionate
I see you, I hear you, and I honor your experiences. It’s your time, your space, you determine the pace.I show up with empathy, patience, and care.
Nonjudgmental
Whatever you’re carrying, there’s room for it here. You’re welcome just as you are, with no need to perform or pretend.
Personalized
Your journey is unique, and so is my approach. I tailor sessions to meet your specific needs and goals, with your readiness and capacity in mind.
Therapy with me is not…
About fixing you
You're not broken. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” but understanding, healing, and growing.
A place for toxic positivity
I won’t minimize your pain or rush you to “look on the bright side.” We hold space for the hard stuff.
Surface-level
While we move at your pace, I gently invite you to go deeper so real healing and change can happen
Clinically cold
While I’m a trained professional, I bring warmth, humor, and realness into the room. No cookie cutter here. I don’t follow a rigid script or assume what’s best for you we create a path together.
