About

English | español | Português Welcome to my profile! Therapy can change your life. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so congrats on taking the first step. I'm a multicultural, social justice-oriented and trauma-informed psychotherapist, supervisor, educator, immigrant, and New Yorker. Whether it’s related to life-long wounds, current challenges, or wanting to feel happier/more at-peace and not knowing where to start, my goal is to help you create real and long-lasting change. Using a gentle, compassionate, direct approach, we can work together to find the version of you that you feel most comfortable with, a version through which you can thrive. With over a decade of experience including 8 years as a trauma-informed senior-level outpatient therapist at Montefiore, my specialties include those listed below, as well as reducing the effects of relational conflicts, burnout, and immigration and acculturation challenges. I also conduct psychological "immigration evaluations.
