“After obtaining my degree and licensure, I worked in outpatient psychiatric hospitals for over seventeen years and trained in many evidence-based practices, all of which allow me to address the diverse needs of my clients.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
Psychology courses inspired me to pursue a career as a research assistant at a mental health unit in New York City and learn more about the path toward therapy. Here, I met amazing clinicians who happened to be social workers. The work I did, first as an assistant then as a program coordinator, evolved into a passion for providing clinical support and intervention.

What should someone know about working with you?
During the intake, we will explore present struggles in the context of past experiences that may have informed current thoughts, perceptions, or behaviors. I love to use handouts to clarify and review key concepts, which may provide a more adaptive perspective.
What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?
Clinical work is always evolving. I consistently attend trainings and read material from researchers, clinicians, and providers who offer new theories, interventions, and perspectives.
