Are you struggling with debilitating anxiety because of chronic family and relationship stress, and perfectionism? Are you trying to work through grief and loss of someone, or even an opportunity you waited so long for? You have come to the right place. I can give you a space in which you can process your emotions and find clarity again. Your experiences shape how you treat yourself and how you have relationships. I wonder if you understand why you are repeating relationship patterns in your life. Therapy can help you understand and also greatly improve the quality of your life.

I am a doctor of clinical social work, board certified in oncology care, whose goal it is to provide a compassionate space for therapy. In my many years of experience in cancer care in a healthcare setting, my work has afforded me the opportunity to support individuals, families, and loved ones through life threatening and life-limiting illness, trauma, grief, loss, existential distress, and the search for meaning in the face of adversity. In life, there is suffering for us all in different ways and we can perhaps find meaning in the pain, purpose in the loss, and comfort through the journey.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Are you feeling stuck? Therapy can be an invaluable tool to help us feel unstuck, find meaning, function optimally, and feel more connected to ourselves and others. I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds that might be finding that their emotions, behavior patterns, or relationships, both past and present, are getting in the way of moving forward, making decisions, or working towards goals. My clients are often looking for support to gain insight and acceptance in order to motivate change.

Life has its way of sending us on paths that we’ve never actually intended to be on. Have you ever put an address in your GPS and while you’re driving, it starts saying, “Rerouting”? It’s sort of like living life with a plan (or even without one) and the unexpected sends you for a tailspin. Welcome to this thing we call ‘life.’ Especially during these days. *sigh and group hug*
