Our Mission:
At Round Room Psychology, we believe in the nature of human relationships, and in their power to shape us, affect us, and transform us at any age of our lives. Our experience of distress is seen as an opportunity to understand how we interact with others at home, school, work, and in our communities.
We value our differences and complex identities, intersected by our cultural groups based on our sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, race, citizenship, socio-economical status and education. We strive to work at your side in developing healing narratives and strategies to overcome life challenging cycles, while building a meaningful therapeutic relationship.
• Start enjoying life again
• Achieve your goals
• and live authentically
Born and raised in a rural town of Puerto Rico, I decided to change my career path in 2010 from journalism to clinical psychology, obtaining a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Puerto Rico. Hardheaded, but with a kind heart and a love for stories, I found in psychology the possibility to create, and help others create, a healing narrative of life itself. From journalism to psychology, I guide others in their journey to find the many sides of relationships, and how they shape how we react towards distress, closeness and happiness.
