Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed bilingual psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience licensed in New York, Connecticut, Florida and Maryland. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, family concerns, stressors related to parenting, self-esteem and burnout.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and client-centered. I use strengths-based and solution-focused techniques to help you better understand your emotions, build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful changes. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you are already feeling overwhelmed. You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I will meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and work with you at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
