Understanding Adjustment Disorders: Adjustment disorders are emotional or behavioral reactions to a stressful life event or significant change. These reactions are more severe than would normally be expected and cause significant distress or impairment in functioning. While temporary, they can be debilitating and may manifest as symptoms of depression, anxiety, or behavioral disturbances [1]. If you're struggling to cope with life changes and need adjustment disorder therapy, we can offer support.
Our Approach: We offer long-term, focused therapy to help individuals cope with the stressor, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and return to their baseline level of functioning. This may include CBT, supportive therapy, and stress management techniques [10]. Finding a therapist in Massachusetts who understands life transitions can make a significant difference.

I am a bilingual Puerto Rican therapist and Coordinator Supervisor with a deep commitment to community well-being. With four years in mental health and over ten years as a Community Coordinator, my career has been dedicated to serving diverse populations. My work is rooted in my experience as a mental health counselor, where I developed a deep passion for advocating and creating meaningful connections between communities in need and available services. I am committed to building robust systems with strong foundations—aimed not only at supporting individuals today but also at shaping a healthier, more resilient future for generations to come.
I am a Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, trained in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. I completed my MD at Yale School of Medicine, my PhD at Yale, Oxford University, and the National Institutes of Health, and my residency and fellowship training in the Yale Department of Psychiatry and Yale Child Study Center. I grew up in Southern New England, and consider this home. I aim to provide evidence-based, person-centered care, informed by the latest understandings in psychiatric research, and with compassion and optimism.
