I am a bilingual/bicultural therapist working with individuals, couples and families. I have over twenty years experience serving marginalized families. I am a graduate of the Ackerman Institute’s Clinical Externship Program. My work is based on a family-centered treatment model, within which I create unique therapeutic practices and interventions that support and meet the specific needs of my clients. I provide a safe therapeutic space that fosters compassion and dignity.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families impacted by complex trauma, family sexual abuse, grief and loss, adoption, foster care, and special needs. I am also experienced in interracial/intercultural situations and issues of gender identity.

I bring heart and caring to my practice. I have seen change and healing regardless of how stuck or trapped a person may feel as a result of the challenges/traumas of their life journey. I am committed to supporting each person in creating their own path towards greater insight, deeper understanding, and importantly self-empathy.

I am a clinical psychologist and run a small group practice in NYC called City Lights Psychology (www.citylightspsychology.com). I was formerly a staff psychologist at The Motherhood Center of New York. I work primarily with women and their families during the perinatal period and couples across the lifespan.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and bereavement. I also practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process through traumatic memories and experience symptom relief. I worked for 14 years with first responders and 9/11 family members at the FDNY, and have worked extensively with veterans and people impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault.

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.
