I am a Board- Certified Clinical Psychologist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology, and a certified school psychologist. I was educated at Georgia State University (BS), Harvard University (Ed.M.), and the Derner Institute at Adelphi University (Ph.D.).
I help clients successfully manage the difficult challenges of anxiety and depression, I first develop therapeutic relationships characterized by empathy, unconditional emotional support, and authenticity. It is these three fundamental aspects of the therapeutic alliance, more than any specific intervention, that account for successful psychotherapy.
Mindfulness has become a central feature in every therapeutic approach, I often incorporate the fundamental skills of mindfulness practice. That is, in the context of emotion-focused psychotherapy, I help clients develop the skills of flexible attention, perspective-taking, and, most importantly, self-acceptance.
