Your story matters, and this is a place to share it.

Life can be messy—full of joy, struggle, and everything in between. You don’t have to sort through it alone. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in Connecticut, I offer a compassionate space where you can feel supported, understood, and safe to explore what matters most. Whether you’re facing personal challenges, relationship struggles, or family dynamics, my goal is to walk alongside you with care and thoughtful guidance. Here, your story matters and healing can begin.

Walk into the New Light and begin your healing journey.

Through the healing journey of therapy, we help ease the weight of emotional and relational wounds, gently guiding you toward clarity, peace, and renewal.  At New Light Psychotherapy, we will provide compassion, we walk beside you as you rediscover your truest self – free to live fully, rooted in the sacred worth that has always been yours.

“Con una LUZ, nadie se pierde”

Spanish Proverb

“In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction.”

Audre Lorde

“The wound is the place where the light enters you.”

Rumi

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.”

Desmond Tutu

“When we are taught that safety lies always with sameness, then difference, of any kind, will appear as a threat. When we choose to love, we choose to move against fear, against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect, to find ourselves in the other. And that is the light.”

Bell Hooks

Hi, I'm Luz.

Patients often tell me they feel safe with me, that therapy becomes an hour in their week they look forward to—even when it’s hard. That’s because our work isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about walking alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow.

I value clear boundaries, optimism, and love as guiding principles. My strengths as a bilingual (English and Spanish) and bicultural therapist allow me to connect with a wide range of patients, and my training in relational psychoanalysis, trauma therapy, and psychoeducation helps me create space for the kind of transformation that lasts.

Above all, I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you move toward the life you want to live.
