My Approach
My approach to therapy is rooted in collaboration, expertise, respect, and understanding. I believe that therapy is a partnership where we work together to explore your experiences, challenges, and goals. I primarily work with children, adolescents, and adults facing a range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD), phobias, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem and body image concerns, and life transitions. Additionally, I offer parenting sessions to support families in developing effective strategies for managing the behaviors of school-aged children at home.
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my expertise in treating various mental health conditions enables us to engage in honest communication and collaboration to determine the most effective strategies for your unique needs.
Education and Experience
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biobehavioral Health from The Pennsylvania State University and my Doctor of Psychology in School-Clinical Child Psychology from Pace University. I have gained extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds in various settings, including schools, mental health clinics, day treatment programs, and hospitals.
During my training, I completed a psychology externship at the New York City Children’s Center, where I provided individual and group therapy to children and adolescents. I then completed my predoctoral internship at Jacobi Medical Center, focusing on health psychology and trauma intervention. I recently worked as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist at Grand Central Psychology, where I provided individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a range of mental health conditions
In addition to my practice, I serve as a school psychologist at a private school in NYC, where I provide both individual and group counseling, classroom behavioral support, and consultation services for parents and teachers, supporting the well-being of elementary school girls.
