My early life was shaped by many cultures and faiths —
by six, I was exposed to various lanaguages and traditions. Over the years, I became curious about complicated relationships and how they really works, and it motivated me to study social work. A few years later, I graduated with distinction from New York University with an MSW.
I started my career at Bellevue Hospital’s emergency and inpatient services and at the men’s homeless shelter on 30th Street. As time went on, I joined a group practice and provided clinical supervision, crisis management, and training on mental health topics.
Over the years, there has been a rise in mental health issues. Noticing gaps in the mental health system and “traditional talk theapy,” I began a deep dive study under Dr. Deepak Chopra and the Chopra Institute to learn more about the mind-body connection. A former contributing writer for his global platform, I believe that providing mental health and wellness information is a vital part of creating community awareness and better mental health.
I am a native New Yorker and understand the unique challenges of living in a big city. Whether it’s a demanding career or relationship challenges, I listen to concerns with compassion. I ask questions. I stay present and explore meaningful change.
Through a mindfulness lens and psychodynamic therapy, I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). My intention is to create a safe space to feel supported, contained, challenged, and confident.
