Overview

My approach is eclectic, drawing from psychodynamic theory, person-centered therapy, CBT, and attachment theory. I tailor sessions to each client’s unique needs, always grounding our work in the therapeutic relationship.

I hold a double master's degree in Psychology from The City College of New York and in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from New York University. I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Organizational and Leadership Psychology, which deepens my understanding of systems, identity, and human behavior.

I especially enjoy supporting people who are building confidence, navigating life transitions, or working through anxiety and self-doubt. Sessions with me often feel like deep, honest conversations—with space for laughter, reflection, and growth. My personality naturally leans toward warmth, curiosity, and compassion.
