About me

As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering adolescents, young adults and women through transformative healing experiences, with a deep understanding of challenges related to stress, anxiety, relationships, and personal growth. My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassionate, culturally responsive care. I have extensive expertise in addressing depression, trauma, grief, and social challenges, with a particular focus on helping clients develop self-love, overcome isolation, and explore life purpose. I create a supportive environment where individuals can safely explore their experiences, especially those impacted by prejudice, discrimination, and significant life transitions. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I’m committed to walking alongside my clients as they build resilience, cultivate meaningful connections, and discover their inner strength. Whether you’re struggling with social anxiety, processing difficult experiences, or seeking personal growth, I’m dedicated to providing thoughtful, affirming support tailored to your unique journey.
