I am a New York City-based licensed psychologist who provides therapy to adolescents and adults. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma related to areas such as family dynamics, relationships, multicultural issues (i.e. race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality), biracial/multiracial identity, and academic/career pressure. My passions include working with women on issues related to motherhood and finding life balance, as well as young adults navigating emerging adulthood.
I use an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing from drawing from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavioral (DBT) therapies. These tools help me to assist you with exploring how early experiences, relationships and family dynamics have impacted your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will spend time on identifying such factors, exploring their origins, strengthening your coping mechanisms, and learning strategies to align with your authentic self.
