About My Clients
I have experience working with cancer patients and caregivers, elderly adults, women, BIPOC and LGBTQ populations in regards to chronic pain, illness, health, trauma, loss, grief, loneliness, life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression and explorations of race, culture, sexual orientation and gender identity. I am currently learning more about Neurodiversity and affirming best practices.
My Background and Approach
I utilize an eclectic approach of Multicultural, Feminist, Existential, Relational, DBT, IFS and EMDR therapy that can help foster change, awareness, acceptance and growth. I welcome your feedback and try to use and model patience, humor, and authenticity. I try to be culturally competent and trauma informed. I also enjoy working with first generation, immigrant and/or diaspora communities and identities and enjoy when culture, art, media and current events enter the virtual room. I graduated from New York University’s Applied Psychology Program with honors and minored in English Literature. I have a Master of Arts in Psychological Counseling and a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe the therapeutic process is a unique, powerful, active, creative, collaborative, and professional relationship that has the potential for individuals to feel a sense of safety, non judgment, validation, empowerment, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. I value the arts, social justice, inclusivity and sex-positivity and try to incorporate them into my work. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching sci-fi & anime, astrology, photography and spending time with my dog, Jedi (who you might see virtually every so often or upon request).
