I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and one of the most important things to me is creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re not sure where to start or what to say. You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy—that’s something we can work through together.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist, leader, and advocate with over a decade of experience supporting children, families, and adults navigating life after hard things.

My work is rooted in helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety and stress, and rebuild a sense of identity and stability during major life transitions. I specialize in working with couples, individuals who carry a lot caregivers, professionals, survivors of interpersonal trauma, and people from historically marginalized communities who are often used to being strong for everyone else. I also specialize in addressing and healing generational trauma for black communities.

I have been in practice for the last 5 years primarily in the intensive outpatient setting. I offer a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard and respected. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your experiences, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change.

I am a Columbia University trained psychotherapist licensed and practicing in New Jersey and New York. I have worked in a variety of settings with clients in every age group from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds facing a wide variety of challenges. I've had the privilege of serving as a child advocate and crisis hotline operator for an emergency shelter serving survivors of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault. I have experience working in a hospital setting with children and families struggling to cope with chronic illness. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in the private practice setting for the past 6 years. I have a special sensitivity for adolescents and adults who have struggled with a dysfunctional family, codependency, abuse, neglect, self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse/self-medicating, disordered eating, their spiritual/religious beliefs, their sexuality, loss, and grief.

I believe seeking therapy requires courage and is a strength in itself. As a licensed mental health counselor, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported in exploring life's challenges. My professional experience includes work across a range of settings, including private practice and partial hospitalization programs. I currently focus on providing trauma-informed care to children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–R (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience in the social work field. Since becoming licensed as an LMSW in 2005 and advancing to LCSW-R, I have developed a diverse clinical background working with individuals across the lifespan in settings including inpatient psychiatric care, medical social work, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and outpatient mental health.

My varied experience has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and difficulties adjusting to change. My graduate training included a specialization in health, providing me with additional insight into the connection between physical and emotional well-being.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is individualized, helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build upon their strengths.

I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by relationship stress, anxiety, or the pressures of navigating early adulthood? I work with young adult women across New York via telehealth who want to better understand their relationship patterns, manage anxiety, and feel more grounded in their day-to-day lives.

With 9 years of experience providing individual and couples therapy, my work is informed by Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, approaches that help uncover the emotional and relational patterns that shape how we connect with others. Together, we explore how past experiences, attachment styles, and current stressors influence your relationships and emotional well-being.

As a first-generation immigrant from NYC, I bring a culturally responsive perspective to conversations around identity, family expectations, and navigating different cultural worlds.

I currently offer a short-term therapy model (8 sessions) designed to help clients gain insight, develop practical tools, and create meaningful shifts in how they relate to themselves and others. At the end of the initial course, we can revisit progress and determine whether extending to 10–12 sessions would be helpful.
