About My Clients

I have experience counseling individuals, couples, and families who may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adverse family dynamics, and turbulent life transitions. I consider my work to be humanistic, relational, and trauma-informed.

My Background and Approach

I utilize psychoanalysis, psychodynamic theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in my work. My practice is informed by the education I've received at New York University Silver School of Social Work, in addition to my training in family therapy at The Ackerman Institute.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm quite passionate about analyzing not only "generational curses," but also generational blessings across the lifespan. I take pride in decoding lived experience and interpersonal connection through a multicultural lens. I believe one cannot reach the heights of their greatness without first exploring the depths of their suffering.
