My journey to becoming a psychotherapist came very naturally given my extensive history within the mental health field. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where mental health plagued the streets, but was mostly ignored. I am the youngest of six siblings, which has had a huge impact on my curiosity about how identities are shaped and how to navigate different spaces, perspectives and personalities. This curiosity led me to my path of mental health.

I began working with a diverse population of adolescents, adults and families, with a variety of stressors, to help them transform their lives and relationships through individual, group and family therapy. I utilize culturally informed treatment models in all services provided. As a therapist, I am collaborative, exploratory and realistic, which also means that I will challenge you to expand your perspective about yourself, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, relationships, family dynamics, etc.

My hope for our work together is that you complete therapy with a better understanding of self, emotions, behaviors and a unique toolbox to manage any stressors.
