Origin story
Born and raised in the Queens, New York, my early experiences have shaped who I am and how I approach my work. After completing my undergraduate education at Drexel University in health services administration, I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue and so I became a medical assistance to explore the clinical aspect of healthcare. Although I was passionate about improving the lives of others, I knew I needed to reconsider my post-undergraduate options when my supervisor gave me feed back that “I spoke with the patients for far too long.” Shortly after, I became a parent coach at a foster care agency in Queens and witnessed how my empathetic and compassionate approach to my work impacted families of diverse backgrounds. I then enrolled at the Silberman School of Social Work and received my Masters in 2021. Since then, I have worked in a variety of settings including Article 31 clinics, schools and private practices. Throughout my life, I have continued to pursue my passion of dancing whether it was competing at national competitions or motivating large events such as mitzvahs and weddings. I am now a wife and mother balancing my career and caring for a family.
Ongoing work together
Client's will know they are making progress when they feel a bit calmer and more connected to themselves in situations where they would experience the opposite.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I incorporate ACT exercises to help clients experiencing difficult life transitions learn how to accept their current situation and develop resiliency to overcome the negative symptoms associated to this life change.
Interpersonal
I encourage client sot learn how to communicate assertively to develop social support systems during crisis of stressful life-events.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I teach clients on how practice mindfulness on a daily basis to ground and center them so they can become more aware of themselves and encourage appropriate decision-making.
