About Me
Life’s journey is rarely a straight path. Along the way, I’ve gathered insights and tools that have not only helped me navigate challenges but have also empowered me to thrive. I’m passionate about the transformative power of mental health and its impact on our relationships—with others and, most importantly, with ourselves. I believe that it’s never too late or too early to mobilize our inner strengths.
As a parent, partner, daughter, sister, and individual, I’ve experienced firsthand the complexities of balancing multiple roles. My life’s adventures have taken me across multiple careers, countries and communities, each move enriching my understanding of people and perspectives.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Barnard College and completed my Master of Social Work at New York University. Additionally, I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International and have undergone post-graduate training in Couples Counseling at the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
My Approach
Seeking support is a courageous first step. I approach each client with genuine interest, empathy, and an open mind. Together, we’ll explore the intricate connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Whether you’re new to therapy or seeking a fresh perspective, I’m here to collaborate with you to gain insights and create positive change.
My Specialties
I specialize in supporting couples as they deepen their connection and navigate life’s transitions. Drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches—including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and the Gottman Method—I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients.
One of the most transformative periods in a relationship can be the journey to parenthood. I have additional training in perinatal mental health, including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and I work closely with individuals and couples during the transition from pregnancy through the postpartum period. I also provide support around infertility, pregnancy loss, and the complex emotions that can arise in these experiences.
As a biracial therapist, I have a deep sensitivity to and experience working with interracial couples and families navigating challenges related to differing cultures. I take a trauma-informed approach, ensuring that therapy is a safe and supportive space for healing. By combining these perspectives, I strive to create a meaningful and effective therapeutic experience.
My Self-Care
Self-care isn’t just another task on the to-do list; it’s about those guilt-free moments we carve out for ourselves. Some days, it’s savoring a hot cup of tea while doing the Wordle; other days, it’s enjoying a walk with a friend. I believe in the connection between mind and body and love to fit in running when I can.
