I believe that everyone should live their life without judgement, fear or distress. Developing trust with your therapist is the most important first step in a therapeutic relationship. Once trust and rapport has been established, I will work with you to develop the goals of therapy. If you are having difficulties with a past trauma, abuse, neglect, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and career or life transitions. I am here to help you build management and coping skills. A vast majority of my experience has been working with individuals that have an array of social and behavioral difficulties.

We also focus on practical skills and cognitive/behavioral techniques to address symptoms.

My goal is to foster a safe and supportive environment where clients feel seen, validated, and empowered to express emotions, explore thought processes, and gain a deeper understanding of self. I work collaboratively with my clients to establish goals and identify tools to overcome personal obstacles. I believe that seeking therapy is an act of great courage and vulnerability, and I aim to celebrate each person’s resilience and growth through our work together.

I am often described as a warm, empathic person who creates a comfortable, supportive, and safe therapeutic environment. Unlike the distant, silent psychoanalyst stereotype, I am a real person in the room. I respond to what you tell me, ask questions, and will even share a laugh with you. My approach is based on the premise that relationships are essential in shaping who we are as people and how we experience the world.

If you've experienced trauma that caused you to suppress, avoid, and close yourself off from the world - to deny your needs & make yourself small - I feel you. I tried coping with trauma by turning against myself, and it only increased the shame and isolation. I'm sure there's a part of you who is curious about finding another way, who realizes you are more than your struggles. Together, we can experiment with changing your relationship to your anxiety, OCD, trauma, and identity concerns, so you can reconnect with what you need to live a rich and fulfilling life.

The work of getting to know ourselves more deeply is courageous, and I truly believe that we don’t have to do it alone. My mission is to help women of color and queer folks peel back the layers of life that are weighing on them, live more balanced lives, and as a result, have more fulfilling relationships with others and themselves. Sometimes we have an idea of what that may be and other times we may not, both are normal places to be.

As a somatic psychotherapist, I integrate the mind, body, and soul fostering emotional, cognitive, physical, & social integration. I've observed the transformative impact of connecting to the body: releasing emotional blockages, tapping into its wisdom, understanding behavior patterns, and transforming stuck emotions into growth. I recognize the challenges of overwhelming environments, leading to reactive and dysregulated states. Despite intellectual self-awareness, there might be a gap in emotionally embodying authentic selves. This cycle can result in disconnection from self and others.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I received my doctorate from Adelphi University and work with children, adolescents, and adults. I also have experience and clinical training in CBT, DBT, interpersonal therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) with a focus on treating depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, loss, and personality disorders. I focus on helping improve emotion regulation difficulties, interpersonal problems, behavioral dysregulation, and issues related to women's health/ motherhood, particularly maternal loss and adjustment to motherhood, including the emotions, anxieties, and stressors involved in navigating this complex life transition.
