Thank You for Visiting My Page

I recognize that you come to therapy with varying levels of need and a wide array of challenges you may be working through. I endeavor to meet you where you're at, help you feel comfortable, and develop a trusting, genuine relationship that will allow you to heal, learn, and grow.

My Professional Background

I received my Doctorate in School Psychology from Fordham University after receiving my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Education at New York University. I have spent the last decade working in public schools in New York City and Chicago, providing direct counseling services to children and adolescents confronting all types of stressors.

I also have administered assessments and completed psychoeducational and play-based evaluations, including assessments related to Autism, Learning Disabilities, ADHD, Executive Functioning, and Emotional Disabilities. Through my work in schools, I have worked with parents and families, providing consultation and therapeutic support around a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, motivation, and trauma.

My Approach to Helping You

Sincere, compassionate, and knowledgeable, I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience treating adults, children, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds. Educated in psychodynamic psychotherapy and incorporating cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques, I help you to build upon strengths, identify and address obstacles, develop better insight, and form more meaningful and positive relationships with others.

Putting You First

I treat all with respect, sensitivity, and empathy, empowering you to face your existing challenges with true agency.
