You want to feel on top of your game at work, and surrounded by people you love and feel connected to.

But anxiety and insecurity get in the way of your happiness. Like many people, you've reached out because what used to work just isn’t anymore.

Psychotherapy can help you practice better communication, build stronger relationships, manage your anxiety, and grow your self-confidence.

That way, you can get unstuck, and start living your best life. 

My Approach

I'm a clinical psychologist who helps professionals feel confident and fulfilled. I’m direct, conversational, and collaborative, grounded in the best available approaches yet tailored to your needs. My job is to help you develop a plan and push you toward your goals when you’re ready to “go deeper,” and help us slow down when you need more time to process. You help us set the pace of our work.

We’ll work together to help us understand what keeps getting in the way, figure out a path forward, and improve your relationships and self-esteem.

My Background

I’m an assistant professor of psychology at Queens College, where I am the director of the Frantz Fanon Lab for Decolonial Psychology, conducting research on Puerto Rican ethnic identity, psychotherapy, gender and sexuality, and the social determinants of health.

I received my doctorate from Rutgers University, where I focused on multicultural psychology, anxiety, and trauma. Although I’m originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, I kind of got used to the cold weather and stuck around New York City—it just kind of grew on me. In my off-time, I'm an avid gamer, activist, and spoken word artist.

I’m also the author of the books A People’s History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology, and Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique: Putting Freud on Fanon’s Couch, which won a 2024 Gradiva Award for Best Book. I’m currently working on a third book on the life and work of Martiniquan revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, and how his clinical work informed his politics.

That's a bit about me, now I'd love to hear about you. If you're looking for help, reach out to book a phone consultation below. Let's talk!
