In a rapidly changing world, one can find it challenging to deal with feeling mad, afraid, sad or even glad! My aim is to help alleviate that pain. I use an integrative approach to understand your life experiences, feelings, and the reason for seeking counsel. I believe each person already has in them the potential to grow. A personal transformation through the process of psychotherapy can help facilitate this growth. Eventually, this will give you a greater understanding of yourself, others and the world around you.

Our goal is to promote brain health through integrative approach that is tailored and personalized to your need and the specifics of your brain, physiology, history, and life circumstances. Many of our clients come to us because they understand that their issues is not a character flaw but the culmination of genetic and environmental variables that have led to the brain being hardwired a certain way. They also understand that the brain is very plastic and that it can be retrained! We work with Adults & Children with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Brain Injury, Stress, Developmental issues, or simply Peak Performance.

My practice is dedicated to those who are looking for a warm, accepting, and honest environment to improve their quality of life and make positive changes.

While earning my doctorate in child and school psychology at New York University, I had the opportunity to work in hospitals, schools and private practice providing psychotherapy and administering evaluations to children, adolescents and adults. While I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, I have a passion for working with adolescents/teenagers and young adults and guiding them to raise self-awareness, encourage self-esteem and self-love and ultimately make positive changes to become happier individuals.

I strive to cultivate a therapeutic space where clients feel safe to fully express their thoughts and feelings in an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment. I am devoted to a collaborative process of assisting individuals with identifying and achieving their goals. I believe that the therapeutic process is beneficial in helping clients gain a deeper understanding of their own emotions, attain self-efficacy on how to cope in times of adversity, and ultimately become self-aware to foster significant changes in their lives that are parallel to their genuine beliefs.
