Therapists in Bronx, NY

I received my BA in Journalism & Psychology from NYU. While volunteering at local hospitals as a Rape Crisis Counselor, I found my passion for social work. I began providing advocacy & emotional support to patients in the ER who had experienced sexual assault or domestic violence. This made me realize how much I valued others, & I decided to take the step & apply to graduate school. I then went on to earn my MSW from NYU. Since then, I have worked in various mental health & community health settings, with a focus on offering accessible services to those experiencing substance abuse, chronic illness, or mental health concerns.

Are you repeating negative patterns in many different areas in your life? The healing process is multi-layered. I can teach you how to bring yourself into alignment with your “ true self”. We will work on coping skills so you can find your center, and as you feel emotionally safe within yourself, we can explore the source(s) of negative thoughts and behavior patterns. Healing is intentional. Do you listen to your intuition? Do you hear it? We all have it, but too often our chronic thinking brain is so loud it drowns out the intuitive voice within. I can help teach you emotional wellness. I am also a Reiki practitioner.
