For 15 years, I was a NYC public school teacher working in specialized high schools and that experience has informed my understanding of how our intersectional identities influence how comfortably we move in our world today. I believe that personal, cultural and societal narratives can influence who we are and what we believe we can achieve. I use an Anti-Bias Trauma informed lens to help all people navigate life’s provocations. I am also an avid gamer and use video & tabletop games, RPGs and other staples of Geek culture in my work with some clients to build empowering metaphors of their life experience.
I hold MA degrees from UCLA, Brooklyn College and the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and completed post graduate training in couples and family therapy at the Ackerman Institute. I am trained in Psychodynamic, Narrative, and Relational therapies and am completing certification in Emotionally Focused Couples therapy (expected in 2024).
My experience has given me insight into BIPOC and multiracial couples and people navigating identity, race, intimacy, parenting, educational systems and the unique stressors of living in the tristate NY/NJ/CT area. After assessment, a treatment plan will be tailored to your needs, the issues you are struggling with and the goals you want to achieve.

I often use Emotionally Focused Therapy which is an evidence-based therapy that has proven to be the most effective form of couple's therapy. It can be adapted for individuals and families. In EFT, after assessing your attachment style, we look at how our emotional needs affect our behavior and learn how to say what we need with more clarity and focus. We feel better when we say what we need.
