Override Hero Title

I am a New York state and New Jersey state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in psychology from Long Island University-Post. I completed an APA accredited internship from Mt. Sinai Services-Elmhurst Hospital Center. I received postdoctoral training from New York University Counseling and Wellness Services. I specialize in working with adults with concerns regarding career, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety, eating disorder/body image, and grief/loss.

Welcome- I'm a culturally informed and trauma oriented counselor dedicated to help individual to heal, grow, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

My journey into mental health work began during my years as a Child Protective Specialist in NYC, where I worked closely with children and adults navigating some of life's most painful and complex circumstances.

After receiving my graduate degree, I worked with non-profit organization supporting children and survivors of domestic violence. Today, I serve as a full time outpatient mental health therapist working with clients from diverse background who are seeking healing, clarity, and empowerment.

Each step of my career has been guiding me by a simple truth: that healing is possible when people feel truly seen, heard, understood, supported. My new chapter with Headway marks an exciting step forward- expanding my practice to offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for those ready to begin or continue their healing journey.

I'm a clinical social worker in NYC with a degree from Hunter College. I have over a decade of clinical experience, which began while working as a case planner in the NYC foster care system. At Hunter I was accepted into the Child Trauma program through the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and received specialized training in trauma-informed, attachment based modalities including Child Parent Psychotherapy.

I have extensive experience working with care-givers and parents of young children navigating parenting challenges, from adjusting to a new baby to processing and healing from significant attachment disruptions. I also trained in Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International to help support clients through the challenges of the preconception, perinatal, and postpartum phases of family planning.

I am a certified Level 1 AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) therapist and I am currently completing certification with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute. These models invite clients to go a little deeper than in traditional talk-therapy, but to do so in an intentional, thought out, and collaborative way that results in a sense of catharsis, release, and self-compassion. These approaches benefit many types of clients but are particularly helpful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, with a history of interpersonal, and childhood trauma.

I work often with clients who identify as "people-pleasers"-empathetic, "emotional sponges" who often find themselves prioritizing others at the cost of their own well-being. are incredibly tuned in to the world around them, but can become overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and burnout. My integrative approach helps them develop stronger boundaries, reconnect with their needs, and find renewed balance and purpose.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree specializing in trauma-informed care and holistic emotional wellness. With over fifteen years of experience in medical and mental health settings, I have worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My counseling approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic practices with Christian principles to support healing of the mind, body, and spirit. I am passionate about creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow in both emotional wellness and spiritual strength. My goal is to help clients develop practical coping strategies, deepen their faith, and move toward lasting healing, purpose, and restoration.

I have been in private practice in Westchester, NY since 2016, and I am licensed in New York State. I received my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University in 2009 and my Bachelors from Colgate University in 2007.
