A JOURNEY TOWARD YOUR BEST SELF.
MODERN MINDFUL THERAPY
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I have a passion in helping others overcome life's challenges and discover their best selves. I primarily practice from a person-centered and attachment/relational lens. So many of our present day challenges (e.g., relationships, work, self-esteem, identity, etc) have roots in developmental experiences of our sense of self and connectedness to others. I am flexible with integrating other modalities including AF EMDR when processing and healing from traumatic experiences. My therapeutic presence is best described as accepting, encouraging, and grounding in support of your exploration and expression of your authentic self.

EXPERIENCE
My own professional journey began in Los Angeles public mental health where I treated diverse populations of couples, young adults, adults, and older adults with persistent anxiety, depression, PTSD, thought disorders, and co-occurring substance use disorders. It was the beginning of my understanding of the necessity of trauma informed and culturally-sensitive practices. Eventually I returned home to NYC where I discovered that my service to others and to my own best self blossom in the realm of private practice.
I have received formal and extensive training in and can provide treatment in the following modalities:
-
Attachment-focused EMDR for PTSD, specific phobias, or complex trauma
-
Maternal Mental Health for perinatal/postpartum mental health difficulties
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, depression.
-
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
-
Mindfulness based interventions
