About
Hi! Welcome to your first step on your self-awareness journey! I have worked in multiple clinical settings, including but not limited to ACS, homeless shelters, foster care, preventive services, teen pregnancy, outpatient therapy, the LGTBQI community, and juvenile justice. My professional experience has provided me with skills and knowledge of the effects that trauma, family, government systems, bullying, and poverty can have on an individual's day-to-day functioning. I am a firm believer in getting to the root of the problem with an emphasis on a collaborative approach to achieve and maintain long-term goals. I believe in creating a space of acceptance and unconditional positive regard in order to foster self-acceptance and healing. I consider my approach eclectic; I have extensive knowledge and experience in many different modalities, including but not limited to cognitive behavioral, TF-CBT, solution-focused, relationship, and marriage and family. I am a native New Yorker, born and raised in the projects on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I strongly believe that my upbringing and life experiences have shaped me in understanding how the environment can have both a positive and negative effect on the mental health of the individual and their families. I strive to build a strong therapeutic bond.
