Who We Are

My dream has always been to have a positive impact on as many lives as possible. The most obvious way for me to  achieve this was to become a therapist. I believe that everyone deserves having an individual in their life that is there to offer support and guidance without judgement and shame. To be that person, I create a safe and trustworthy environment to explore your emotions, thoughts and behaviors. I love having the ability to help others gain more insight about themselves and the situations they are facing, while exploring how their past experiences impact their current lives. Some particular areas of interest for me are helping women build self confidence, exploring early family dynamics and their impact on present day issues, enhancing romantic relationship dynamics, and addressing trauma.  I look forward to working with you!

Therapy is a journey that both you and I embark on together to identify and achieve goals that you have for yourself. My familiarity with various cultures contributes to my ability to interact and engage well with others, and bring the necessary empathy and compassion needed in the therapeutic process. Some of the interventions I utilize are CBT, Client Centered Therapy, Motivational interviewing techniques, Schema Therapy, Gottman (Level 3), EMDR, DBT, bibliotherapy, among others depending on the need of the individual, couple, and/or family dynamic. In addition, I can also implement a coaching approach to assist individuals in growing self-awareness and building new coping skills to manage difficult situations. This ultimately positively impacts problem solving skills and helps unlock individuals’ highest potential.I am an active and engaged therapist that draws from different therapeutic styles and techniques depending on what works for you! I value creating a space where you feel comfortable to be vulnerable and explore what you want to work on. With over the decade of working in the mental health field I have worked successfully with diverse populations, building strong connections through compassion and goal oriented work. 

I completed my Master in Psychology at Mercy College. I then decided to continue on my educational path and attended State University at Buffalo to complete my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I have worked in the field of Mental Health for nearly a decade now, providing a wide range of services to individuals and families in need.  During this time, I have had the opportunity to successfully work with individuals, families, and couples to support growth, improve communication, address traumatic experiences, develop boundary setting skills, gain empowerment, and explore relationship dynamics.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an acute awareness of the power of love. In my personal relationships, I strive to be a reminder of this force within all of us by providing my loved ones with a safe environment to be all that they are without judgment nor shame. Thus, when exploring career options, it was very clear to me that I wanted to continue to spread this light in the world as a mental health professional. My educational experiences further increased my desire to build a career where I can positively influence others in quest of inner harmony and overall well-being. It brings me great joy to be able to assist others in understanding how their life experiences have impacted their mental state and physical body. Overall, I am particularly interested in supporting others through life transitions, grief and loss, exploring family dynamics, identifying one’s inner child(ren), and embracing a mindful practice that connects one to their body’s inner wisdom, again. I am eagerly looking forward to working with you!

I consider the therapeutic relationship to be a collaborative journey in which you and I will explore presenting concerns, identify goals, and pursue a plan of action together. I am acquainted with various cultures, which allows for me to appropriately connect with others and genuinely provide empathy and compassion throughout the therapeutic journey. I often utilize multiple therapeutic styles in order to extract techniques that best fit each of my clients. It is my belief that no modality fits all, thus, I am intentional about including techniques into the action plan that best support each client’s process.   Some of the most common interventions that I integrate into my practice includes Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Motivational interviewing techniques, Client Centered Therapy, Attachment based behavioral therapy, as well as any additional techniques that will assist in addressing the presenting concerns of my client. Overall, my therapeutic style entails providing insight that will guide my client’s toward self-awareness in order to pursue a plan of action that assists my clients in developing a holistic sense of self. My ultimate goal is to help each of my clients return to their body and discover the answers within! 

I completed my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at The University at Albany, SUNY. After graduation, I took a year off school where I received field experience as a case planner for a Prevention program in the Bronx. I then pursued and completed my Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling at The City College of New York. During the duration of my Masters program, I completed my internship requirements as a student-therapist at New York Psychotherapy Counseling Center. I have been involved in multiple mental health organizations for over five years now, where I have been able to provide a variety of services to both individuals and families. My experiences have allowed me to support others through moments of need, changes/transitions, grief and loss, improving communication skills, exploring traumatic experiences, increasing self-awareness, reflecting on personal relationships, and ultimately creating inner harmony and well-being.

Growing up, I remember being passionate about supporting those around me. Whether that was through laughter, simply listening, or even advising friends and family. I hoped to continue to do this, and for me, that was through becoming a therapist. My educational experiences further fueled this desire, as I learned that therapy is not always about having intense moments, but therapy is also about exploring the positive contributions within us. I find fulfillment in being able to provide a safe environment for others by maintaining an encouraging tone. I enjoy providing the space for others to explore how their life experiences have shaped them into the person they are in the present moment. I particularly enjoy supporting others through all ages of life to cope with anxiety, personal development, depression, and strained family dynamics. I look forward to working with you!

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been intrigued by human behavior and how we cope with the challenges of our everyday lives. I saw anything that could provide me with more insight about myself, as something that gave me more power; power to tap into my strengths, power to confront challenges, and power to choose things that were more in alignment with my desires. This slight obsession with introspection made me very attracted to watching talk shows as I loved seeing how hosts would assist guests in overcoming their unique challenges. I was in awe of how an hour of vulnerable conversations could help guests unlock a level of understanding of themselves that would allow them to exhale long held sighs of relief, as well as promote their experience of healing and self-acceptance. These “ah-ha” moments are what fueled my desire to become a therapist. I knew that I wanted to help people in their greatest moments of need so they could experience self-awareness, self-acceptance and healing. As a therapist I greatly enjoy helping my clients tend to the needs of their emotional lives so that they feel empowered to live abundantly and authentically. I am particularly interested in working with emerging adults to explore how personal, familial, environmental and societal influences affect the decisions we make and impact our efforts towards self-actualization. I look forward to working with you!

I wholeheartedly believe that our emotional well-being is of vital importance to our overall health. We deserve to take care of ourselves by pursing joy, peace and freedom and healing in all the ways that are meaningful to us. Therapy is a transformative means towards this end and while the journey may be a difficult one, it is well worth it. As a clinician I believe it is my responsibility to accompany, encourage and hold space for you as you press forward throughout this therapeutic journey. I will work with you in a collaborative manner to identify how we can help you live your life in an authentic and fulfilling manner. My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy where you will be empowered to tap into your capacity to achieve personal growth and change in all the ways you desire it. I also appeal to other modalities including feminist therapy and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) to help address problems in your life. Additionally, using the tenants of psychodynamic theory, I can help you examine how your initial relationships with your caregivers and other family members influence your self-view, world view, and how this creates the framework for how you engage in relationships with others.

I completed my bachelor’s degree in American Studies at Williams College and thereafter I obtained my Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Relay Graduate School of Education in order to launch my career in education. After a few years of teaching, I decided to complete my Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Fordham University in order to pursue my dream of become licensed counselor. As a newcomer in the field of mental health, I have enjoyed working with individuals to navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, and life concerns such navigating interpersonal relationships, employment, family dynamics, identity, and self-worth.
