About
For 15 years, I was a NYC public school teacher working in specialized high schools and that experience has informed my understanding of how our intersectional identities influence how we comfortably we move in our world today. I believe that personal, cultural and societal narratives can influence who we are and what we believe we can achieve. I use an anti-bias trauma informed lens and techniques to help all people navigate life’s provocations. I am also an avid gamer and use video & tabletop games, RPGs and other staples of Geek culture in my work with some clients to build empowering metaphors of their life experience.
I have a MA from UCLA, a MA Ed. from Brooklyn College and LMSW from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I am completing my post graduate training in couples and family therapy at the Ackerman Institute. I use an inclusive approach and am trained in Emotionally Focused, Psychodynamic, Narrative, and the Ackerman Relational therapies.
My experience has given me insight into families navigating racial identity, relationships. parenting, educational systems and the unique stressors of living in tristate New York City area. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs, the issues you are struggling with and the goals you want to achieve.
