I’m a bilingual, bicultural Latinx Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and the owner of Wellness Therapist LLC, a private practice offering therapy, clinical consulting, and life/wellness coaching for individuals and groups. I'm licensed in Massachusetts and Maine, and bring nearly two decades of experience spanning early childhood education, clinical research, and direct psychotherapy.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts-Boston (UMB) and a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons College, where I also completed a Certificate in Child & Adolescent Trauma.
My clinical training includes placements at the Latin American Health Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital’s (MGH) Chelsea Healthcare Center, supporting individuals facing complex mental health and life challenges.
My work is client-centered, collaborative, and evidence-based, helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and trauma-related concerns. Over the years, I’ve supported children, teens, and adults, facilitated skills-based groups for youth and caregivers, and led coaching programs for adults navigating transitions.
I’ve provided services in residential treatment, in-home support, outpatient care, and research-driven clinical programs through organizations like Vinfen Corporation, Bay Cove Human Services, and MGH.
I founded Wellness Therapist LLC in 2016 to provide:
Individual therapy for adults
Group therapy for adults, parents, and adolescents
Clinical consultation for research programs, community initiatives, and behavioral health providers
Life and wellness coaching for college students and adults
At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to helping people heal, grow, and live with intention.
I believe that through self-awareness, skill-building, and intentional change, we can break free from limiting patterns and move toward a life that reflects our values and truth.
My goal is to help you connect the dots—between past experiences, present struggles, and future possibilities—so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
