Journey to Better

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCSW - NJ
Accepting clients Last Updated 0 days ago

I am a Latinx, Lesbian/Queer Woman and Psychotherapist. I am a licensed social worker in NJ with over 20 years of social work experience and providing psychotherapy in private practice since 2018. I provide affirmative, trauma-informed, clinical psychotherapy to adult QTPOC individuals, couples, and groups. As a Doctor of Social Work candidate, my focus of study is on the effectiveness of treatment among shared identities between clinicians and clients. For queer, trans, and people of color, therapy has historically been stigmatized, mistrusting, or inaccessible. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma-related stress. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach to tailor treatment based on each client's individual presenting concerns. Life is not a solo trip, as your guide, I will assist you in navigating the tough roads and keep you on the journey to better.
