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 complex PTSD, phobias, or developmental trauma
-
Maternal Mental Health for perinatal/postpartum mental health difficulties
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, depression.
-
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
-
Mindfulness based interventions
WHAT clients SAY
I am profoundly grateful for the level of care and compassion along with the utmost professionalism. My life will be forever enhanced for the better having received the much needed help that was given on a regular basis. Truly blessed I am.
