I am currently accepting new clients. Starting therapy for the first time or re-initiating therapy after a break can be daunting; but most things worth doing involve some risk. Many of my clients are quite successful, but are unsatisfied with certain aspects of their life such as self-confidence, mood, relationships, or sleep. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult period of your life, relief from anxiety, rest from your struggle with insomnia, regained security after a traumatic event, healing after a loss, or simply deeper self-knowledge: Therapy is a risk worth taking.
I received my Master's & Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University and trained in public, private, and VA hospitals in NYC. I am bilingual & practice in English & Spanish. I have held faculty and clinical supervisor positions at NY Presbyterian-Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Currently, I serve veterans at the Manhattan VAMC.
My practice is conveniently located 100% online. I offer live 45-50min Telehealth sessions to clients located in NY, CT, and FL. I invite you to contact me to tell me more about your needs and what you are hoping for. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I strive to tailor each treatment to each unique individual. Reach out. Let's see if we are a good fit.

It is one of my greatest joys to help my clients navigate difficult changes or experiences they did not want; and to create the positive changes they do want. Change is hard! Even good change can be hard! I enjoy co-creating a safe and validating space where I can be a witness to my client's story and accompany them so they don't have to face these changes alone.
