I understand these challenges personally—I was that kid myself. I had to claw my way out of statistical destiny through applications, financial aid, and downright miracles. I am the only person in my family with graduate degrees, someone who reinvented herself and is living a life that had never been lived in my bloodline. I see you. I know what it feels like to navigate competitive schools or high-stakes industries while being the only one—the only Dominican, the only woman, the only first-gen—masking, performing, and managing expectations. Many days feel isolating, and impostor feelings are common, even when you are excelling at the highest levels.

With over a decade of experience supporting high achievers in competitive settings, I provide evidence-based psychotherapy, including EMDR, CBT, and emotional regulation strategies specifically tailored for first-generation high achievers. My approach goes beyond traditional therapy: I help clients build emotional clarity, executive focus, and self-authored pathways for success. Together, we create strategies for navigating competitive spaces without sacrificing well-being or authenticity.

You didn’t come this far by chance, and you don’t need to navigate this journey alone. Working with me provides not only a path toward emotional healing but also tools to navigate elite spaces with confidence, leverage your unique strengths, and define your own version of success.
