About

I know that living with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and other challenging experiences can make a person feel disconnected and alone. My focus is to provide my clients with a safe and healing therapeutic relationship where they can develop a deeper understanding of their troubles and feel empowered, with my guidance, to make lasting positive changes to their lives. My theoretical orientation is a mix of Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness-Based, Person-Centered and Psychodynamic practices.

My experience in the mental health field includes work in a center for victims of violence, providing individual and group therapy at an inpatient/ outpatient psychiatric facility, and at a private practice providing therapy to adults, adolescents, couples and families.

I received a BA in Psychology and a MA in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY College of Staten Island. The program included concentrations in areas of grief and loss, addictions and career counseling. I have had additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
