Life is a journey. Too often, though, we find ourselves adrift, feeling alone, scared, and without a map to navigate. I believe that therapy provides a trusting, compassionate, and facilitative relationship for moving through life's uncertain waters. My goal is to help you feel more in control of your life by gaining insights into patterns and relationships that may hold you back, and to develop practical skills for coping with life's inevitable challenges. I believe that, together, we can help you realize your potential, feel more connected to others, and set your own course on your journey.

I am post-doctoral trained in Neuropsychology and Brain Injury. I provide both assessment and treatment. Neuropsychological evaluations are conducted with patients who have sustained a concussion, traumatic brain injury, stroke, or dementia as well as evaluate those with difficulties with attention, or learning difficulties; I can provide academic accommodations with with those who need accommodations in the classroom setting. Treatment consists of psychotherapy & cognitive remediation, which is individually tailored cognitive activities designed to strengthen areas of targeted weakness. (e.g., attention or executive functioning).

With over 15 years’ experience as a bilingual Psychotherapist working with very diverse populations from adults to adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD I learned that not everyone feels comfortable going to speak to a therapist in a traditional setting like an office. This is why I offer “Walk Talk Therapy” and mobile therapy. I want to eliminate as many barriers as possible for you to get the help you need. Just as we are all encouraged to exercise for our physical health, I believe everyone should connect with a professional therapist to strengthen one’s emotional health.

I received my doctoral degree and training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I completed postdoctoral training at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, and further training in research and clinical assessments of mood and anxiety disorders at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Columbia University Medical Center, and New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. Extreme stressors, life transitions, and traumatic events - including new or ongoing health conditions - affect every aspect of our lives and can make relationships - with family, friends, colleagues, and even healthcare providers - very challenging. The impact of these events can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported (even by the well-intentioned). They can also lead us to make choices we aren't proud of and limit our enjoyment of life in general.

I have been a psychotherapist and a neuropsychologist for over 25 years. As a therapist, I have extensive experience working with individuals in all stages of the life cycle; childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Each developmental stage has its own struggles and requires specific adaptations and interventions. Psychotherapy must be a collaborative and individualized journey. By understanding our emotional states and behavior patterns we are able to develop a greater sense of control and new and more effective strategies/skills to cope with life's stresses. I utilize an insight oriented approach in addition to targeted behavioral intervention and specific educational strategies with parents and families.

Balance is fundemental to a life well-lived. I believe that we all strive for harmony within ourselves, our world, and our expectations for our future. We strive for self-fulfillment within these areas but at times, reaching them can beceome overwelming. Deciding to begin therapy is an important and extremely personal choice. I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in scientifically validated psychological treatments including cognitive behavior therapy, rational emotive psychotherapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. I work with adults, children, couples, to help them in their pursuit of a life well-lived.
