I have 25 years of experience working in-patient and out-patient treatment. I have worked with individuals with general mood disorders and addiction. I also use group therapy to connect others with similar issues to enable connections that the clients may not otherwise have. I believe that my clients prefer the warm, comfortable style that I use.

I began my career working with substance use disorders and mental health disorders in 2006. The first 13 years of my career were centered on helping individuals and families recover from substance use disorders which often included co-morbid mental health disorders. The latter part of my career has been primarily focused on women’s health. I have specialized in helping to support women who are facing infertility, loss or miscarriage, perinatal and postpartum mood shifts. I truly enjoy supporting women while they navigate motherhood and all that this brings. I work with men and women age 18 and up.

I use a holistic approach to therapy with a focus in the following areas of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems. In this work, I love to help people heal and grow in their relationship with self and others. I am a trauma informed therapist who is skilled in treating PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, and Mood Disorders.

I am a certified yoga teacher, and I believe it is important to incorporate the body into therapy. I incorporate body centered techniques to help people engage with their nervous system and take back control of their stress response. Whether you or a loved one is struggling with ongoing mood disorder symptoms or are going through a difficult life experience I can help to empower you to feel more grounded and more confident in your ability to manage hard times. By changing our thoughts and behaviors we can improve our relationship with ourselves as well as with those around us.

Welcome! I am a open-minded, caring, and energetic therapist with a background in treating a variety of mental health concerns. I have had my private practice for about 10 years. Prior to private practice, I was working in the substance abuse field and treated occurring disorders for 10 years. I love working with clients to identify and understand their strengths and how to use them to build a quality life with continued growth.

I am a triple board-certified psychiatrist specializing in Child, Adolescent, Adult, and Perinatal Psychiatry, as well as Obesity Medicine. I am a medical doctor who trained at Albert Einstein Medical Center (General Psychiatry residency) and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship), where I served as chief resident and chief fellow. My practice, Dona Wellness Clinic, primarily utilizes telepsychiatry to offer accessible, compassionate, and inclusive care to individuals across Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and North Carolina. Approach to Providing Care.

A little bit about me—I’m a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs. I offer a variety of ways for us to work together, whether you prefer traditional talk therapy, incorporating creative expression through art, or a combination of both. Throughout my career, I've worked in a variety of settings with people from many different backgrounds and stages of life. Those experiences have shaped my approach and reinforced the importance of meeting each person where they are. While I enjoy working with adults across the lifespan, I’ve found that I’m especially passionate about supporting older teens and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the many uncertainties that can come with this stage of life.
