I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice, where I work with children, adults, and families to navigate life’s most meaningful (and challenging) moments. Whether you're facing a transition, parenting stress, emotional overwhelm, or relationship struggles, I provide a warm, collaborative space to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and begin the process of change. I offer both in-person sessions in Westchester and virtual therapy across New York State.

Hello and welcome to my practice. I specialize in treating young adults who’ve experienced anxiety, trauma, and OCD. I’m level 1 trained in IFS and have extensive training in depth psychology.

I began practicing as a mental health counselor in 2013 and have worked with adults, adolescents, families and couples struggling with disorders ranging from depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, to borderline personality disorder. My practice is informed by Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — both evidence-based interventions that help clients make positive changes in behaviors and build coping skills and strategies to live more fully. I help clients build their own strengths to make change possible. I received my MA in Counseling in 2012 from Maryville University in St. Louis and am licensed in both New York State and Missouri. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a public relations and marketing executive and business consultant. I hold a Masters degree in German and speak German fluently.

I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.

I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.

I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. By utilizing unconditional positive acceptance, my goal is to help clients add to their social and emotional knowledge so they can navigate through difficulties in ways that foster self-esteem, well-being, and growth.

I am an LMHC in New York. I have been in private practice since 2015. I obtained my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2012 and began working in a residential setting, providing services to adults with chronic mental illness and substance use disorders, receiving numerous promotions along the way. After 11 years, I decided to move onto something new, obtaining a position as a Clinical Director in an outpatient clinic. I recently decided to pursue my private practice full time.

I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a professional background focusing on mood disorders, anxiety, and challenges in relationships. I attach importance to the ways issues of culture, race, trauma, family dynamics, and migration influence how we carry ourselves in the world and approach our experiences.
