About Me.
My nature as a therapist is authentic and open. I like to build an honest, vulnerable and trusting dynamic with you, where we collaborate on exploring and maintaining a curiosity about your life experiences that inform who and how you are (in the way that you think, feel and behave).
Education
Master of Social Work
Columbia University
I obtained my masters degree in Social Work from Columbia University where I was taught and trained in evidence based practices for psychotherapy. The social work approach to therapy is guided by principles and values that focus on empowering individuals, families, and communities to enhance their well-being and address various challenges. As a social worker, I use a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of individuals within their social, cultural, and environmental contexts.
Bachelor of Arts
New York University
At NYU, I majored in English and American Literature, and double minored in child and adolescent mental health studies and religious studies. My academic work has always involved a curiosity and concern toward the human psyche. Literature has existed as a form of expression and a vehicle for connection since the beginning of well, literature. The facets of expression and connection are integral parts of any therapeutic process. My work as a therapist now, still connects back to the curiosity of connection and creativity of expression through literature.
Additional Training
The Gottman Institute
I have completed Gottman Level 1 training in couples therapy, which provides research based assessments and interventions for couples work.
Cognitive Behavior Institute
I have completed training in Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD from Cognitive Behavior Institute.
