FAQ
Do you offer non-dual therapy or coaching that supports spiritual awakening, emotional healing, and the integration of challenging life experiences?
Yes, I do. I offer therapy and coaching that honor the path of spiritual awakening and the wisdom of non-dual traditions. I gently focus on integrating our sometimes messy, emotional humanity into a deeper, lived sense of Being. Whether you’re beginning to question your sense of self, working through difficult emotions, or navigating a profound inner shift, I provide a grounded and compassionate space for your unfolding.
My approach is trauma-informed and deeply influenced by the teachings of Adyashanti, Craig Holliday, and Eckhart Tolle. I also greatly respect teachers like Tara Brach, whose work with radical acceptance offers a powerful bridge between spiritual insight and emotional healing.
Together, we explore what it means to rest in presence, meet our emotions with acceptance, and return to the wholeness that has always been here.
What is your availability?
I see clients from 12 pm to 6 pm on Mondays, 10 am to 7 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and 10 am to 5 pm on Fridays.
What happens during the phone consultation?
I offer a free 15-minute phone call to connect and see if working together feels right for you. Tell me a little about what you’ve been going through and what you’re hoping for, and ask me anything.
I’ll listen with care and share honestly how I think I can help. And if someone else might be a better fit, I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
How many years of experience do you have?
I’ve been a practicing therapist for nearly six years, and my approach is shaped by over 14 years of experience supporting people in high-stress and emotionally complex situations.
Before entering private practice, I worked in crisis response, supporting first responders and communities during natural disasters. Later, I worked as a therapist in hospice and palliative care, walking alongside individuals and families through the realities of end-of-life. These experiences gave me a grounded understanding of trauma, grief, and resilience, which continue to inform my work in the therapy room.
Alongside my clinical path, I’ve spent nearly two decades immersed in meditation practice, attending retreats rooted in Buddhist and Yogic traditions, and receiving one-on-one guidance from wise and ethically grounded teachers.
This integration of professional and contemplative experience continues to shape how I hold space, listen deeply, and support meaningful transformation and healing.
Can I reschedule an appointment? What is your cancellation policy?
Yes, you can reschedule. Please give me 48 hours’ notice so I can reschedule an appointment. A cancellation with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a charge.
Do you see individuals and couples for grief-related issues?
Yes, I do. I support both individuals and couples as they navigate the shifting terrain of grief, loss, and heartbreak. Whether you’re mourning the death of a loved one or moving through a significant life transition, I offer trauma-informed therapy to help you meet the pain with compassion, presence, and care.
I also work with individuals uncovering hidden patterns from the past and learning to make more intentional, grounded choices in how they relate, rooted in self-compassion and a deeper understanding of themselves.
While painful, grief can also become an opening, offering the possibility of healing, meaning, and greater self-awareness amid change.
Do you work with first responders navigating the challenges of their demanding and high-impact roles?
Yes. Having spent more than a decade working alongside first responders during natural disasters, I understand – on a deeply personal level – the weight this work can carry. Whether you’re in law enforcement, an EMT, a firefighter, or another emergency role, I relate to the unique pressures, emotional strain, and quiet burdens of showing up for others in moments of crisis.
Because I was once in your shoes, I’m uniquely positioned to support you with insight, compassion, and respect.
If you’re experiencing burnout, cumulative stress, grief, or the lingering impact of what you’ve witnessed, I offer a trauma-informed, grounded space to help you process and begin to heal at your own pace and without judgment.
I also offer flexible scheduling to accommodate the unpredictable nature of shift work, so you can access support when it works best for you.
What is your approach to working with clients?
My approach is creative, dynamic, and holistic. I believe therapy should meet you where you are, because everyone is different, and different things work for each client.
When working with individuals, I draw from a range of modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, somatic approaches, and, most importantly, compassion-based, mindfulness-informed nondual practices and traditions.
I primarily use Relationship Life Therapy with couples, emphasizing honest communication, emotional safety, and cultivating deeper connection and mutual respect.
Above all, I aim to create a space that feels collaborative, attuned, and grounded in genuine care for your unique journey.
What age ranges of your clients?
I work with men and women ages 18 and up.
How long are your sessions?
Sessions are 55 minutes.
Do you take insurance?
I don’t accept insurance directly. Over time, I’ve found that insurance can limit the depth and direction of therapeutic work, such as restricting the number of sessions or requiring specific diagnoses. To preserve a holistic and flexible approach, my practice operates on a private-pay basis, allowing us to focus entirely on your healing, growth, and transformation.
However, I’m happy to provide documentation (a superbill) if you want reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.
Can you tell me something about yourself, so you feel less like a stranger?
I value warmth, depth, and a good sense of humor. I believe healing doesn’t come from techniques alone. It happens through presence and genuine human connection. In our work together, I aim to show up as fully human, not just as a therapist. I hope to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and never alone in what you’re carrying. This intention is woven throughout my trauma-informed, mindfulness-based approach, where presence, safety, and compassion guide the path.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a passionate meditator, a lover of long bike rides (especially on my Brompton), beach walks, and exploring national parks. I collect vinyl records and often find comfort in music, quiet mornings, and time spent in nature. These practices help me stay grounded and remind me of the beauty of stillness and movement.
I was born in Puerto Rico and have spent most of my life in Miami and New York City. Over the years, I’ve traveled extensively across the U.S. to support people from all walks of life, and those journeys have led me into meaningful connections with communities across the country, ranging from the Sierra Nevada in California to the mountains of North Carolina and Native nations in upstate New York. These experiences have deepened my respect for the many ways we carry our stories and the shared humanity that connects us all.
I try to bring my whole self to work, not as a distant expert on a pedestal, but as someone walking their path alongside you, with humility, curiosity, and care.
Are you bilingual?
Yes, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Being bilingual allows me to support clients in the most natural and comfortable language, especially when exploring personal and emotional experiences.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from a wide range of communities across the U.S. I approach this work with cultural humility and deep respect for each person’s story, background, and lived experience.
Do you have any podcasts or resources you recommend?
Yes – I’m always exploring podcasts, audiobooks, and talks that support inner growth and honor our shared humanity. For spiritual grounding, I often return to the teachings of Adyashanti, Mukti, and Craig Holliday. Tara Brach’s podcast and audiobooks beautifully combine trauma-informed insight with Buddhist wisdom.
On the therapeutic and personal development side, I enjoy The One You Feed, The Rich Roll Podcast, and Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael Gervais. These offer meaningful reflections on healing, resilience, and intentional living.
For those seeking group support, especially around emotional boundaries, I often recommend Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA), a peer-led space for cultivating healthier ways of relating and deepening self-worth.
If you’re interested in gentle, embodied practices, Mukti also offers free Qi Gong videos, which can complement inner work. Her Yogic Qi Gong Routine is a great place to start, especially if you’re curious about grounding the body in stillness and flow.
