Credentials

I’m a Queens girl who currently lives in the New York metro area.

I graduated with honors from New York University, School of Social Work. My professional career began at Belleuve’s Hospital’s E.R., inpatient services, and the Mens’ Shelter on 30th Street. I’ve been a therapist in private practice for over twenty years.

A chance meeting led me to Dr. Deepak Chopra and the Chopra Center. I’m a multi-certified holistic health, meditation, and mindfulness professional. I’ve written extensively on the intersection of mental health and mindfulness practices for Deepak’s Presence App, and I offer trainings from time to time. I also speak on the topic of healing whenever I can.

While I don’t directly teach mindfulness in therapy, clients often tell me they feel more at ease in my presence. I bring a mindful, grounded lens to our work and take a collaborative approach and tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual. I often incorporate psychodynamic therapy, person-centered therapy, dialectial behavioral therapy (DBT), and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

My clients tend to be purpose-driven, gifted women who are sensitive to the workings of their inner and outer lives and seek deeper work. They come to therapy to reduce negative thinking, career stress, relationship challenges, dating anxiety, thought spirals, internal conflict, anxiety, stress, depression, family conflict, social anxiety, and other interpersonal concerns.
