I am a licensed clinical social worker in private practice who specializes in working with people in their early adulthood experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma responses. I earned my Master of Social Work from Columbia University in 2012.
We often seek out therapy when we find that our ways of managing stress, anxiety, and depression are no longer working in the way they once did. My role is to be your partner and collaborator in understanding yourself more deeply. We will put our heads together to uncover how beliefs about yourself and the world came to be, and how some may be preventing you from feeling satisfied in life. We often come to therapy when we are feeling stuck, and I want to work with you to understand what barriers are in the way to you feeling as alive and fulfilled as you hope to be.
I provide a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space for our work. My approach is shaped by my advanced training in psychodynamic/relational psychotherapy and trauma-centered treatment, and I incorporate CBT and mindfulness when appropriate. I am also a Spanish-speaking therapist.
