Clinical Therapist, LCSW

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Ms. Lisa, and I know that taking the first step to meet with a new therapist can feel like a big leap. I want to thank you for considering me as a partner in your healing.

I am a New York-born and raised Puerto Rican woman, fully bilingual and bicultural. My journey has taken me from Antioch University to New York University, and eventually to a decade of teaching clinical theory at the Silberman School of Social Work. With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I truly love what I do.

In my practice, I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating everything from anxiety and depression to trauma, chronic pain, and immigration-related stressors. As a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider, I also offer specialized support for those managing the unique complexities of ADHD.

What to expect in our first session:

I believe the "therapeutic alliance" is the heart of growth. We’ll start simply: I’ll share a bit more about my approach, and you can ask any questions you have. From there, we’ll talk about your history, your strengths, and the concerns that brought you here. Together, we will build a treatment plan that honors your most pressing needs and helps you navigate daily life with more ease.

If you’re looking for a space where you feel truly seen and understood, let’s see if we’re a good fit.
