My Experiential Background
As a first-generation Hispanic American born/raised in the Bronx, NY, my work is driven by helping others (especially those with intersectional identities) and trying to understand their journeys. As a future counselor, I respect and value the simultaneous identities clients hold. My professional experience entails working with all people on the identity spectrum as it relates to helping them reach their maximum health. This experience includes working within New York City (NYC) to provide individuals with HIV/STI counseling and testing, services, health education, support, and case management. Having the opportunity to have worked at places like Boom Health, The Institute for Family Health, The LGBT Network, Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA), and AIDS Center of Queens County (ACQC), have exposed me to working with many marginalized populations in underserved communities within NYC.
​
Additionally, having some background education in midwifery has exposed me to the needs and lack of services/resources women and other birthing people face. Advocating for women and birthing people's journeys was a vital portion of my health experience. I've dedicated many years to educating myself about the impacts of emotional and mental health on sexual health and the symbiotic relationship between all of them. Health equity and equality are what I strive to achieve for all clients.
​
Some of the populations I've served and continue to work with are:
​
LGBTQ+
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
Hispanic/Latinx
Those living with HIV/AIDS
Women and Birthing People
Men of Color
Underserved Communities
I acknowledge the difficulty for marginalized individuals to embark on their therapeutic journeys, but don't be discouraged.
I'm here to help smoothen that transition.
