Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
When I was a teenager, I met a Program Director of a drop-in teen program in New York City. Don was the first social worker I ever met. His kindness, generosity and warmth created an environment of inclusion and acceptance that I have never felt before. Don's validation of my thoughts and feelings was so empowering that I really began recognizing the need for social justice... all at the tender age of sixteen! I aspire to be a "Don" to others someday...
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I do enjoy humor and so whenever appropriate, I like to infuse some lightheartedness in some sessions. Laughter is the language of the soul.

Professional Background
LicensureNew York, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, 078250
Training/CertificationsI am a certified SAFETalk facilitator. SAFE is Suicide Alertness for Everyone program.I am certified in Seminar in Field Instruction (SIFI) where I supervise undergraduate and graduate students seeking to become Social Workers.
Education
Columbia University, Master of Social Work, Advanced Clinical Practice, 2003 — I studied Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) guided by the teachings of Marsha Linehan. I also studied group therapy practices by Dr. Irvin Yalom.
Work HistoryI graduated with my Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University in 2003. However, prior to my graduate studies, I have very humble beginnings working as a caseworker in foster care and supporting children and families impacted by trauma and substance abuse. After obtaining my MSW, I became an evaluator for children and adolescents in NYC Family Courts and then transitioned to Clinical Social Work where I began treating individual and families in outpatient community based clinics. I support and welcome clients from all walks of life and embrace diversity and inclusion. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. However, I do not necessarily subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach to treatment. We are each unique and so should be your journey of self discovery and healing.
