Anxiety and depression are debilitating conditions that drain the vibrance out of life. They can make it difficult to function and manage daily tasks. The stress piles up and prevents us from feeling joy and well-being. I know first hand how hard dealing with these issues can be. You’ve struggled long enough let me help you find relief.

Life adjustments such as transitions, separation, or loss can be extremely difficult to navigate. Anxiety can leave your mind scattered and unable to focus. Depression is like thick mud that leaves you stuck and prevents you from moving forward. All of these issues are bigger burdens than any of us can face on our own. If you feel like your life is a struggle; know that it doesn’t have to be. Together, in a safe and non-judgmental environment, we can build skills of personal acceptance and empathy.

My goal is to provide a safe space to empower my clients to face the issues that negatively impact their lives. I aim to be compassionate, authentic and nonjudgmental in order to help you build a healthier and fulfilling life.

I work with individuals, couples, families and groups. I accept clients of all ages, genders, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

My goal is to empower you to develop a greater sense of agency and self-efficacy so that you become the most actualized version of yourself.

I’m a psychotherapist and the founder of resilient Mind Psychotherapy, on a mission to transform our society’s relationship to mental health. Dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder from an early age, motivated me to become a therapist and spread awareness of mental health issues. I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University in 2012.

Healing isn’t linear, but it can transpire within the right environment. That’s why having a collaborative space to feel safe, supported, and curious is so important in the therapeutic process. I am dedicated to helping create this space with the strengths of my clients and through the application of an integrative approach. My orientation is person-centered which promotes unconditional support, empathic understanding, and genuineness. It’s also shaped by facets of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness, wherein an individual balances and accept the opposites in their life, while being present in the moment.

Showing up for yourself is incredibly important, however prioritizing your own needs is often easier said than done. It can be especially challenging if you already feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, and/or lost. Through the therapeutic process, together we can navigate life transitions, explore difficult emotions, resolve conflicts, build on strengths, enhance coping skills, increase self-satisfaction, and gain new insights.

At the heart of all significant issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss are relationships. Therefore, change must also occur within a relationship and therapy is a unique one which provides the safety, trust and honesty, to foster growth. As your therapist, I am fully present for you, in a way that even the best intentioned friend or family member may not be, because I do not have an agenda, and I am invested in the decisions you make to improve your quality of life.

Are you struggling with identity development or gender transition? Have you recently lost a loved one and are unable to cope? Perhaps anxiety or depression is disturbing your quality of life. Any of these challenges can feel impossible to deal with alone. I’m here to provide a compassionate space to help you find healing at your own pace.

As we are all confronted with the challenges of the current public health crisis, many of us are experiencing significant changes to our social and familial relationships, our economic realities, and our sense of normalcy. This can naturally contribute to feelings of anxiety, stress, fear, and uncertainty. Therapy can provide you with a supportive space to process and navigate these challenging times. My approach to therapy is to partner with you to create an individualized and goal-directed treatment plan that draws upon your strengths, and enables you to make lasting changes.
