I’m a licensed psychologist with a Master’s degree from NYU, and over five years of experience helping individuals navigate mental health challenges and work toward becoming the best versions of themselves. My approach is rooted in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a deep commitment to understanding your unique needs. Together, we’ll explore your concerns, develop practical strategies, and build lasting resilience to help you thrive mentally, emotionally, and personally.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first counseling session is a crucial step in the therapeutic process, and it often serves as a foundation for the relationship between the client and therapist. Clients may have different expectations based on their individual needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I can provide well-rounded, evidence-based psychotherapy and insights tailored to your needs. I can adapt to your specific context or goals, offering tailored advice, solutions, or explanations based on your preferences and needs. Whether you need help brainstorming or developing a new strategy, I can offer creative solutions and alternative approaches. I provide a safe space for you to ask any questions without judgment, maintaining privacy and confidentiality in our exchanges

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The core premise of CBT is that our thoughts (cognitions) influence how we feel (emotions) and how we behave, and vice versa. By identifying and challenging unhelpful or distorted thinking patterns, CBT helps individuals change maladaptive behaviors and emotional responses.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is unique because it combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices and a focus on acceptance and change. The therapy is built on the concept of dialectics, which involves reconciling seemingly opposing forces—such as acceptance and change—into a harmonious approach for healing and growth.
Multicultural
Multicultural therapy is an approach that acknowledges and addresses the cultural, ethnic, and social differences that influence individuals' experiences, behaviors, and perceptions. It emphasizes the importance of considering a client’s cultural background and identity in the therapeutic process. By integrating an awareness of cultural diversity, multicultural therapy helps ensure that treatment is relevant, respectful, and effective for people from a wide range of backgrounds.
Integrative
Integrated therapy is a holistic approach to treatment that combines multiple therapeutic modalities to address a person's physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs. This approach is based on the understanding that individuals are multifaceted, and that no single therapy can fully address all aspects of their well-being. Integrated therapy aims to provide a more personalized and comprehensive treatment plan that considers the interconnectedness of various factors in a person's life.
