Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist practicing in New York and Massachusetts. My work is grounded in insight-oriented therapy, empathy, cultural sensitivity, and collaboration. I help people untangle their challenges and old patterns to feel more confident, connected, and free. I work best with clients ready to commit to weekly or twice-weekly sessions to create the momentum and depth needed for fundamental transformation.

My approach to therapy

My approach integrates several theories, allowing me to personalize treatment to your needs. Psychodynamic Therapy is at the core of my practice. I also incorporate aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Black feminist theory, empowerment, and sociopolitical thought.

What you can expect from me

We heal and grow best in relationships where we feel truly understood, accepted, and supported. My role is to create that space for you — one where you feel heard, seen, and empowered to explore the complexities of yourself needed to make lasting change.

My approach allows us to explore the parts of yourself that remain hidden, difficult to understand, slow to change, and stuck. In an affirming and nonjudgmental environment, we engage in the deep introspection of your thoughts and emotions to enhance your awareness and insight into yourself, your patterns, tendencies, strengths, stuck points, and growing edges.
