You feel like you "should" be happy, and able to do all the things, or that you "shouldn't" be stressed or worried because your problems aren't that bad.

I am a Licensed Psychologist who earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from the City University of New York completing internship training at NYU Bellevue Hospital.

I believe in the each person drive toward positive mentsl health. I am strength based in my treatment approach, building on the client resiliency.

My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, build values-based coping strategies, and embark on a journey of personal growth.

It is deeply healing to be heard and cared for in those vulnerable states and to understand that by attending to early emotional injuries, a path toward an authentic connection to yourself and others is not possible, but achievable.
