Great to meet you!

I have 10+ years of experience working at 4 New York City Hospitals on Adult Inpatient Psychiatric, Geriatric, Forensic, Detox, PHP, Palliative Care, Medical, Neurology & COVID-19 Units. Individuals on these units experiencing symptoms such as: depression, anxiety, psychosis, dual diagnosis, addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, mania & complex traumas. I have worked with a diverse patient base including various cultures, ethnicities, races, sexualities, and gender identities. It is my belief that humans gain deep insight through verbal psychotherapy, art making, and internal processing which helps facilitate desired life changes.

My approach to therapy

My approach is Psychodynamic and Client Centered. I give you the space to guide your own therapy goals. I understand that feelings are ever changing, and believe it is important to identify and process these changes. I use components of Gestalt Therapy focusing on the Here-and-Now, to help you gain insight into your current feelings.

What you can expect from me

It is my hope that through our work together, you gain positive coping skills and more successfully navigate your anxieties or whatever issues are troubling you. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore any thoughts or feelings that are important to you.
