Bio

I believe in the resilience of the human spirit. My goal is to create a safe space that facilitates self-exploration and personal growth. Through a strengths-based, culturally sensitive and client-centered approach to therapy, I help clients construct and navigate a path toward healing and wellbeing that honors their individual needs and objectives.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and specialize in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement. While I am primarily a psychodynamically-oriented therapist, I incorporate techniques from a variety of treatment modalities including accelerated experiential psychodynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), sensorimotor psychotherapy, internal family systems therapy (IFS), EMDR, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT).

As a leadership and career counselor, I work with individuals who are looking to change careers or seeking to find more purpose or fulfillment in their work.

I have a Master’s in Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and completed a two-year post-graduate training in Trauma Studies at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. I completed my clinical internship at Mt. Sinai-St. Luke’s Crime Victims Treatment Center (CVTC), where I worked with survivors of trauma such as interpersonal violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and human trafficking. I also worked as a Program Manager at Womankind (formerly NYAWC) and helped launch their elder abuse program. Lastly, I spent two years as a clinical fellow at Erika Malm Therapy where I was trained in attachment-based psychotherapy.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the private sector as an organizational consultant and helped Fortune-500 companies build values-based cultures. I have a Ph.D. in Management from Columbia University, where I studied organizational behavior and social psychology with a focus on the role of culture and social identity in human behavior. I earned a B.S. with honors from Cornell University in Human Development and was also a one-year visiting scholar at the University of Oxford and studied Psychology, Philosophy, and Physiology (PPP).
