Great to meet you!

Since graduating from Fordham University with a Master's degree in Social Work in 2007, I've worked in clinics across NYC with adults and children of various cultural background and acquired many skills including DBT, CBT, insight oriented therapy, and psychoanalysis. I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment issues, relationship conflicts, ADHD, anger management, bereavement, gender identity issue, and many more.

My approach to therapy

My philosophy in life is, in order to achieve emotional well-being, you must approach your overall wellness as a whole. For this, I am also constantly learning and improving my knowledge of physical health, diet, spirituality, and how they affect one’s emotional health. I love empowering and instilling hope in others and guiding them in making positive changes in their life. It gives me a joy to assist people in reaching their goals.

What you can expect from me

Do you feel too ashamed to talk about your problems with people that know you? Do you feel stuck and don’t know how to get unstuck? Do you have unwanted feelings or behaviors that make you feel powerless? If any of this is you, you are in the right place. I am here to assist you in regaining control over your life!
