I work closely with anxiety, stress, life transitions, grief & loss, as well as trauma, recovery, and depression.
Being a therapist is more than just a job for me, it is my passion. Clients have provided positive feedback on my down-to-earth personality and ability to bring humor into sessions. I believe in working collaboratively with clients to regulate anxiety while removing barriers that keep us from feeling our emotions. I am here to help you unlock the core reasonings for issues that negatively impact relationships, performance, and self-esteem.

Aetna, Anthem, Horizon BC/BS NJ, Quest in-network Psychotherapy for adults, Telehealth in NY&NJ. When your “do-it-yourself” model needs a bit of bolstering! Integrity, resilience, capability & self-reliance are part of your character. You normally function well (enough) yet lately feel tired, overwhelmed, frustrated, worried. Up against the wall with a new situation, or have you had it with an old situation? Perhaps there is an illness, a relationship change, job stress or loss of a loved one. Yet it's hard to reach out, hard to trust that someone will “get you” and be able to help. With humility, I believe that someone may be me.

We work with depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, eating disorders, bereavement, borderline, autism, ADHD, addiction, sexual abuse, DV, medical illnesses, relationship problems, LGTBQ+, adjustment disorders and forensic cases.
Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
