I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. I hold certifications in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behaviors Therapy and Child Parent Psychotherapy. I earned my master's degree from Columbia University and Ph.D. from Fordham University, Schools of Social Work. As an educator, I am a Senior Instructor at Columbia University, School of Social Work and Adjunct Instructor at Fordham University, Graduate School of Social Services.
As a therapist of color, I recognize how crucial it is to view your values, beliefs, and experiences through a cultural, social justice, and spiritual lens. Being widely traveled allows me to understand diverse cultures and traditions. Yet, I continue to learn from my clients every day.
Trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues can hinder your path. You might feel stuck or powerless, as if you have no control. You may struggle with intrusive thoughts or painful emotions, blaming yourself or others. You might lose hope of things getting any better. I’m here to support you during that transformation.
My approach is collaborative, integrative, and adapted to your unique goals and needs. I’m here to serve you with authenticity, empathy, and without judgment.
