About me
As a licensed therapist in New York , I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, with particular expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem challenges. I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.
My therapeutic work focuses on helping individuals address a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety, communication difficulties, life purpose exploration, and healing from trauma. I bring a multicultural, intersectional perspective to my practice, honoring each client's individual identity and lived experiences.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in developing self-love, processing difficult emotions, and building resilience. Whether you're struggling with isolation, relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
