About me

I am a holistic psychologist with eleven years of independent clinical experience. I use a neurolinguistic approach through cognitive behavior modification. I am licensed in New York State and Ohio as a psychotherapist and board-certified alternative medical practitioner. I hold a postgraduate degree from New York University and I completed a doctorate of philosophy degree. I was trained in clinical trauma case-based treatment approach and complicated grief counseling at Columbia University School of Social Work. I am the co-author of a book titled: Trauma Intensive Care: Principles and Practice- An enchiridion. My professional neurocognition specialty interests include brain rewiring and altering of trauma centered memory recollection, which helps individuals to implement new ways of interpreting and recalling past informational experiences. I use this holistic approach to treat mental illness as a drugless practitioner. I specialize in the treatment of personality disorders and thought disorders. Editing internal semantic domains through cognitive modification could help people to reconstruct their current reality and reach their full potential.
