What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I consider myself an eclectic therapist who draws from both insight-oriented and skill-based therapeutic modalities. What that means is that I help my clients observe patterns in thoughts, moods, and behavior with curiosity and openness so that they can better understand themselves and what drives them. At the same time, I also aim to equip my clients with concrete skills they can use in their daily lives, whether it's a CBT skill to catch and challenge negative thinking patterns, acceptance skills to give themselves permission to be where they're at in that moment, self-soothing and grounding skills to use when anxiety is high, or interpersonal effectiveness skills to improve their relationships and better advocate for themselves. I also consider myself a deeply empathic therapist in that I always strive for my clients to feel seen, heard, understood, and validated. I truly believe that change happens when clients feel safe and supported.
I am a New York City-based licensed clinical social worker who believes that it’s powerful and healing to have a space to be heard and supported while addressing challenges and achieving goals. I work with adults of all ages and walks of life who want to live a happier and more satisfying and productive life. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, trying to understand their career and relationship goals, learning how best to respond to daily stress, anxiety, and challenges, and striving to improve their relationships, mental health, emotions, and self-esteem. Together, we will clarify your goals and develop insight, skills, and self-compassion. I provide my clients with the tools and skills to better understand themselves and feel resilient, grounded, and empowered to make changes. My approach is empathic and exploratory and I draw from a combination of skills- and insight-oriented modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I received both my undergraduate degree and Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and spent several years working in the Department of Psychiatry at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell, where I treated individuals struggling with a range of mental health issues. Prior to that, I worked with individuals with chronic and progressive neurological illnesses at NYU Langone Medical Center. You are worthy of having a safe space to be heard, nourished, and supported. I know it can be intimidating and overwhelming to be vulnerable with a stranger, but I have every confidence that this journey will be beneficial and rewarding. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and discuss how I can come alongside you as a support and a guide.

That I get it. I truly and sincerely understand. I've lived in five countries in various part of the globe. I've lived with the most impoverished and the wealthiest. No matter what you may come in with. No matter how much you have gone through- none of it is too much. All of your aversions, ambitions, fears, joys, and struggles- it is all part of being human even when you've been convinced otherwise, and chances are I have a story to prove it! Be it the unique needs of those who are neurodivergent (like myself), queer, an ethnic or cultural minority, someone who is discovering new religion/ spirituality (or deconstructing old ones), or surviving with trauma- you all have a place here. I get it.

I prioritize holistic, compassionate care, tailoring evidence-based treatments to individual needs. My mission is to empower patients to achieve mental wellness and lead fulfilling lives.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner through the ANCC with a multi-state license (FL,MT,AZ,WA, and more). My philosophy centers on holistic care, addressing immediate crises and the entire person. I am dedicated to educating others on the vital importance of mental health, equating it with physical health in its significance. I believe everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling life, regardless of their circumstances, choices, or past experiences. Our mission is to make quality mental health care accessible to all. Our clients benefit from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including CBT and DBT. I specialize in Cognitive and Dialectal Behavior Therapy treatment methods (CBT and DBT). I provide treatment for medication management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, and addiction/substance abuse. The first session is an initial evaluation, which includes developing a treatment plan. Subsequent sessions include medication management and ongoing assessment of treatment effectiveness. We provide virtual and in-person treatment sessions .(* NO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES THROUGH TELEHEALTH) TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, my approach to patient care centers around compassion and collaboration. I believe in treating each person as a whole, considering their unique experiences and needs. I engage actively with my patients, ensuring they feel heard and involved in their treatment journey. My core values include empathy, respect, and integrity. I use evidence-based practices to develop personalized treatment plans, combining medication management with various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, I strive to create a supportive environment where patients can thrive and reclaim their mental wellness.
