“The therapist under the supervision of Dr. Ripplinger was able to help me process some of the things I needed help with.” 

Working Together…

We will create a safe environment for you to express yourself freely, as well as collaborate on achieving new ways of coping for self-acceptance and growth.

I work well with college students and entry-level professionals who are struggling with school, career, identity, relationships, and family stressors, as well as BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals needing a safe space to discuss feelings of anxiety, depression, and experiences of discrimination. We won’t just talk about your problems, but help you make real behavioral changes based on your highest values.

As a first-generation Latina woman who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community, I understand how challenging it can be to face systematic marginalization. As daunting as it seems, taking the first step to reach out for help and guidance is a sign of bravery; it is the foundation to growth.

In an affirming, non-judgmental space where you are free to be yourself, you will quickly discover the benefits of weekly, individual therapy, designed to help you better understand yourself and make the positive life changes you so desperately desire.

Education and Experience…

During my time at CUNY Hunter College, where I received my BA in Clinical Psychology with a minor in Sociology, I taught mentoring classes on mental health at The Young Women’s Leadership School in Harlem, as well as led groups focused on psychoeducation and mindfulness practices.

As an Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) instructor, I’ve worked with various populations, from young adults in a school setting, to preschoolers who presented with autism.

I am currently working towards my Masters degree at Fordham University, where I will receive my Masters of Education in Mental Health Counseling.
