I am a licensed therapist specializing in creative arts therapy and mindfulness practices. My holistic and relational approach is diverse, including not only creative expression, but mindfulness practices, spirituality, and traditional verbal therapies to support my clients' needs through the ebb and flow of life.

Some of my areas of focus include trauma, anxiety and depression, stress, loss and life transitions, as well as family and relationship difficulties, among others. I have experience working with a broad spectrum of ages from children to adults as well as with couples and groups.

Change often emerges under validating and supportive environment. In individual therapy, I thrive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where mutual trust can occur to facilitate clients’ self-discovery. My style is genuine, empathic, and interactive. I listen with curiosity, pay close attention to my clients' verbal and non-verbal expressions, and aim to align my approaches with their priorities and goals. Together, my clients and I seek to unpack and co-construct meaning out of their life events with self-compassion. I am interested in helping clients get on a path toward working through the psychological trappings that are getting in their way.

In couples therapy, I work toward providing a safe environment to help clients and their partner(s) listen to one another better and communicate more constructively. I am interested in facilitating true emotional engagement for all parties. Attending to relationship dynamics and their family histories, I guide couples to address each partner’s attachment needs.

I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The City College of New York and have experience working in public and private hospitals, community mental health centers, and college counseling centers. I am also an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor in the Clinical Psychology PhD Program at The City College of New York and a post-degree candidate of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis at NYU.

I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma, cancer/chronic illness, grief, and young adults who are undergoing life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I also have expertise in working with healthcare providers experiencing burnout.
