Life can be filled with challenging moments, situations and relationships. Such encounters can cause depression, anxiety and isolation. Life events may lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms that can evolve into self-destructive behaviors or relationships. I believe that healing and insight are stimulated by an interpersonal connection provided through a therapeutic alliance between the client and the therapist. I am trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and multiple behavioral therapies. I have years of experience as a therapist working in a renowned outpatient substance abuse and mental health facility. Therapy provides support, problem solving skills and coping strategies for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, codependency, childhood trauma, grief, stress management etc. We will gain an understanding of your barriers through various therapeutic techniques. I will hold a supportive and compassionate space for you to learn, heal and grow. Through my passion and dedication to the mission of recovery of the mind, body and spirit; my goal is to help you gain insight into your inner being through healthy and mindful coping techniques. I look forward to meeting and working with you as you proceed on your journey toward reaching your fullest potential.

I honor each individual's unique characteristics and strengths. In that spirit, I tailor my methods to the unique needs of the client - utilizing cognitive behavior therapy, psychodynamic, and humanistic modes. I am warm, encouraging and a strong motivator. My extensive background as a psychiatric social worker helps me to advocate for my clients and has provided me with special skills and life experiences that I bring to my psychotherapy practice.

Bilingual and Bicultural psychotherapy services for Individuals, Children, Families and Couples.

I have supported individuals and familes through using an empathetic and transparent counseling style. I enjoy utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help individuals through their specific therapeutic goals. In my spare time, I eenjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family.

Throughout my career, I have devoted myself to mastering a broad spectrum of therapeutic tools designed to empower you on your journey toward healing and personal growth. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic techniques, and the Gottman Method Therapy, all framed within a strength perspective that underscores your innate resilience. I have supported individuals who identify as neurodivergent and BIPOC, as well as those confronting trauma, depression, anger management challenges, and couples’ issues. Together, we will create a personalized toolbox of strategies that address immediate concerns while unraveling deeper patterns. By working collaboratively, we focus on unlocking new possibilities, nurturing self-discovery, and building a solid foundation for long term well-being. Each session is carefully designed to leave you feeling truly empowered, equipped to transform obstacles into opportunities for positive change and enduring resilience.

Have you found yourself stuck in a cycle of anxiety, overthinking, or feeling down? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but change is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. I believe in the power of collaboration and tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore the best therapeutic approach for you—whether it’s exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused therapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)—to help you reclaim your life and your happiness. I specialize in treating OCD, anxiety-related conditions, trauma, and mood conditions. Beyond these areas, I also have extensive experience helping people work through relationship challenges, chronic pain, and insomnia. My approach is individualized because no two lives or goals are the same. Taking that first step toward change can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I strive to make therapy a space where you feel supported and understood. With compassion, humor, and authenticity, I aim to guide you toward meaningful, lasting changes. I’m licensed in New York and New Jersey and I’m authorized to provide Telehealth in 41 states through PSYPACT. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be happy to discuss your questions in a consultation and help you get started on your path to a better life.

It’s never been more important to learn how to self-regulate: to settle yourself down when you’re freaked out, to get yourself engaged when you’ve frozen. To cultivate your sense of coherence and capacity. I can help you do that in our sessions, and teach you how to get there yourself, when you’re facing these challenges on your own. And as so much of healing comes from relationships, both personal and in a professional healing ones, it is essential to build these connections. When we’re stuck in a threat response, it’s hard to reach out and feel others’ support. There are many challenges we are currently facing, and we don’t have to do it alone. Getting your system regulated and calm can help you better access the support that is here. Incorporating the body into the conversation of healing is an essential part of developing vitality and joy. The focus of my practice is to work directly with the physiology and with energetic systems, building health and slowly renegotiating how life challenges were managed. The modalities I use to guide this work are Somatic Experiencing, Polarity Therapy, Inner Relationship Focusing, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, AEDP, Reiki and Realization Process, supported by psychotherapy.

Every individual is a compilation of their genetics, early learned behavior, primary identifications, patterning, and life experience. Psychotherapy is a guide to identifying and mapping these factors, appreciating the ones that serve well as well as learning to work with and restructure those that, born of dysfunction, continue to cause unhappiness and anxiety. Psychotherapy is a mutual process, where a therapist acts as pilot for navigating what is brought by the patient - the co-pilot. It is the patient's job to think about and gradually share their experiences and thoughts while it is the therapist's job to listen carefully, comment effectively, and guide the patient to a better understanding of the lines that have shaped them. Verbalization leads to consciousness, and the chance to choose alternate ways of coping with situations and relationships. Out of cognition comes actions which lead to character changes. These can help a person to better reach their life goal and personal fulfillment, be these goals relationship, career, familial, financial or spiritual.

I treat anxiety, depression, narcissism, grief, couples, adults and more with science and care. I focus on comfort, precision and thoroughness to strengthen the dynamics and boundaries of life, event and issue strategies. Learn specific skills and understand how education, career, boundaries and justice combine to express themselves into human behavior and thought. All ages, experiences, education and careers, individual, marriage, family, career, sport, and court. Decades as a therapist, teacher, coach, investigation and research. Best performance outcomes in a diversity of settings and factors. CBT if desired. Private.

You may be at a threshold, where the old ways of coping—over-functioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing—no longer feel sustainable. You’re longing for more authenticity, more ease, more connection to yourself and your truth. I work with those who feel called to go deeper—who sense their symptoms are not just problems to solve, but invitations into a more authentic, meaningful way of being.

Finding balance in life is not always easy, especially when you are carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or overwhelming transitions. If you feel stuck or unsure of how to move forward, you are not alone. My role is to offer a supportive, steady space where you can explore what is going on beneath the surface and begin to make meaningful change. I work with children, teens, and adults, tailoring therapy to each person’s needs, goals, and strengths. Whether we are working on building healthier coping strategies, improving communication, or learning to set boundaries, I believe that therapy should feel collaborative and compassionate. You bring your story, and I bring my training and experience. Together, we figure out what works for you. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and shaped by a deep respect for each person’s capacity for growth. I also understand how hard it can be to feel truly seen, especially for those navigating identity development, relationship challenges, or the lasting impact of trauma. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with your values, rediscover your voice, and build a life that feels more grounded and authentic.
