I has been trained as a psychologist, anthropologist and social worker. Upon coming to NY I've been invested in working in different places and agencies. I've been exposed to most types of emotional/psychological symptoms and conditions that I was comfortable to treat. My main focus is psychological trauma and recovery. I also treat mood disorders, anxiety related disorders among others. I work with families, dyads, children, adults or couples as an Infant Mental Health Provider. Treating Panic Disorders and phobias have been effective as well. Life is worthy, let's find ways to enjoy it.

Many of my patients are adult children of immigrants and grew up in two worlds, one American and one the culture of their family.
My patients come to treatment to open up repressed parts of themselves. Sometimes, my patients are struggling to integrate family backgrounds, religious,or cultural with their lives today. They have often succeeded in their professional lives but feel stuck in their romantic or interpersonal lives.My patients usually bring a curiosity about how their history effects their present lives.They are interested in engaging in a treatment which examines this closely in order to understand why they are feeling blocked and to open up a greater sense of inner freedom in order to live more meaningful and fuller lives.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with specialization in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, substance abuse, interpersonal issues, mens issues, and child/adolescent disorders.
Sometimes life can be very stressful due to a variety of barriers. Anxiety, depression or stress can interrupt our lives and lead to despair. Sometimes we have the feeling that we are alone in this despair and that nothing can help us improve. Negative thinking and difficult emotions can lead to poor self-esteem and isolation from those we love, as well as difficulties attending to responsibilities or striving towards our goals in life. I believe all humans have the capacity for change and achieve our goals to transform into our best version of ourselves, and therapy can be a first step to achieving these goals.
