Cigna and Evernorth Therapists in Forest Hills, NY
LET'S TALK. Ever since psychotherapy (the talking cure) was conceived over 100 years ago it has grown and evolved. But one thing remains constant: talking with someone about the things that bother you, in a safe and empathic environment is curative. It is the first step to changing the way you think, feel and act. In more than 20 years of practice, I have studied and mastered various techniques of psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral, relational, psychodynamic) and will utilize these in our work together.

For me, mental wellness is extremely important. I believe that everyone deserves support in achieving and maintaining one's overall health goals. My approach to the therapeutic relationship is compassionate, flexible and supportive as I enjoy working collaboratively with clients' on their self-discovery and healing journeys. I understand that recovery and peace of mind is attainable through work, reaching out for help, utilizing natural resources, and connecting with a higher power. The journey through life is not easy for some, but living a life of purpose is achievable for those who seek it.

Deciding to embark on a therapeutic journey is an acknowledgement of personal strength and courage. Therapy is a space where you’re able to collaboratively navigate the complexities of the highs and the lows of emotions, thoughts, and experiences. The challenges coupled with the experiences that you bring to therapy are not obstacles, they are viewed as growth opportunities, self-discovery and self reflection in hopes of positive self changes. I employ strengths-based approaches to therapy. Recognizing that the mind and the body need to be viewed as one to allow for healing.

Guidance on how to cope through a difficult time, adjust to new circumstances and to re-discover who you may be in this very moment may be the initial steps to a whole new beginning. You might be going through relationship conflicts, adjusting to change or feeling like things are out of control. Anxiety symptoms may be enhanced or you feel like there is not many people you can go to that will understand. The goal is to feel at ease, to want to come to sessions and to explore unaddressed emotions, improve the ability to cope, and manage conflicts that prevent us from finding a balance. We will work together to create that balance.

I have a diverse practice. I work with children, families, adults, and couples. I can work with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, trauma, autism and developmental concerns, and ruptures in family systems. I have extensive experience using play therapy and can also perform cognitive and projective assessments.

I have extensive experience using play therapy and can also perform cognitive and projective assessments.
My area of expertise is assessment, without which a diagnosis and treatment planning cannot be determined. Often, therapy or medication falls short because of poor or unclear diagnosis. I use my years of clinical and academic experience as well as a tailored, objective assessment to address: Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorder. I perform Fitness of Duty evaluations for employment clearances such as NYPD, FDNY, and bariatric surgery. I also help families and the court system with forensic, child custody and special education litigation as an expert witness.

As a first-generation immigrant daughter, I witnessed the profound impact of gender roles on my life. It influenced how I approached relationships and made me acutely aware of the glass ceiling faced by women, particularly those of Black or Brown heritage. This realization spurred me to challenge stereotypes, break barriers, and address intergenerational trauma. My purpose is to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to break free from unhealthy thought patterns by promoting choice, humility, and self-acceptance. These principles define my unique approach to making a difference.
