As a Yale-trained mental health clinician, I specialize in performance anxiety, relationship counseling, identity exploration, and trauma-informed care. I work with individuals and couples seeking deeper fulfillment, emotional clarity, and lasting personal growth.
My approach is holistic, compassion-focused, and strengths-based. I integrate psychodynamic psychotherapy to help clients understand unconscious patterns that may be influencing their current thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors. Alongside insight-oriented work, I incorporate evidence-based approaches including CBT and DBT to help clients build practical skills for managing anxiety, emotional distress, relationship conflict, and the effects of complex trauma.
I work frequently with high performers including professionals, athletes, creatives, and artists who want to better understand the anxiety, pressure, perfectionism, or self-doubt that may interfere with peak performance and overall well-being.
In my work with couples and individuals, I help clients navigate communication difficulties, relational conflict, attachment wounds, and questions surrounding identity, purpose, and values. I use a values-based approach to support clients in building lives that feel more authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who they want to be — whether spiritually, emotionally, relationally, or professionally.
Because I believe mental health is deeply interconnected, I explore wellness through multiple dimensions of life, including emotional, physical, social, mental, and spiritual well-being.
My goal is to create a space where clients feel understood, validated, challenged, and empowered toward meaningful change. I would be happy to connect and see whether we might be a good fit.

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
I completed my bachelor’s degree at Brown University and gained my first exposure to facilitating therapy as a Spanish interpreter at the Rhode Island Free Clinic, which inspired me to apply to graduate school. While earning my doctorate in clinical psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, I trained in settings ranging from a university counseling center in Westchester county to Brooklyn VA Medical Center and a hospital in Bronx, NY, which exposed me to a variety of clinical presentations. During my clinical internship at White River Junction VA Medical Center in Vermont, I completed a VA certificate in Cognitive Processing
Therapy for PTSD and trained in additional evidence-based psychotherapies such as Prolonged Exposure. I completed a geropsychology minor in my graduate training and received an award for my clinical work and research with older adults, which I’ve published and presented at geropsychology conferences.
