I am a New York state licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. from Columbia University who brings over a decade of experience from adult psychiatric emergency, inpatient, outpatient, women’s health, forensic, sub-acute rehabilitation and counseling center settings. I offer individual psychotherapy and work primarily with adults or elderly adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief and loss, as well as racial-cultural, identity and immigrant concerns. Starting your mental health journey is a significant and courageous decision that can bring up feelings of fear as well as uncertainty. Sometimes the hardest part is taking the first step, this could be yours! My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe, accepted, understood and empowered to explore life’s challenges at your own pace.
Does adulting or thinking about the future make you second guess yourself? Having challenges with postpartum or not feeling like yourself? Close to graduating? Going through a transition or struggling with anxiety, overthinking, low self-esteem, life stressors? Let's talk about it!
I hope to help you find your style of adjusting, coping, and healing! This is through a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process life transitions and stressors.
You’ve spent years perfecting the art of "fine." You’ve mastered the mask, you’ve white-knuckled your way through the sensory overload of the workday, and you’ve managed the "high-functioning" anxiety that everyone else thinks is just "ambition." But when you get home, the tank is empty. The ADHD noise is deafening, and the weight of past trauma makes it feel like you’re constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. I see you. And I know how exhausting it is to perform your own life. Let's find the version of your life that doesn't require you to be exhausted all the time
I believe therapy works best when people feel safe, understood, and respected. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where clients can talk openly about what they are going through without fear of judgment. I approach my work with compassion, curiosity, and genuine care.
I work with children and adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. I also believe that perspective matters—sometimes a difficult day is just that, a day—and I try to bring warmth, mindfulness, and a bit of humor into the process to help keep things grounded and manageable.
I have been in practice since 2013 and worked with people from all walks of life. I am sensitive to context, goal oriented and will work with you to find a solution that works for you.
I have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.
I am a lover of learning new things. I have BS in health administration and a MS in marriage and family therapy. I believe in second chances, taking assitance when you need and thinking in a strength based way is important. I am also, a mother, wife and avid crafter in my spear time. I come from an enormous carribbean family. Lastly, I am a dog lover and love socializing with people who have similar interest as me.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in New York starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types in New York include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.
New York has one of the largest concentrations of mental health providers in the country, which can make narrowing your options feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, their location relative to your neighborhood or commute, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and approach so you feel more confident going in.
Therapy in New York can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see which providers are covered and get an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
