I started working in a hospital setting, helping families and patients living with a chronic illness at the Hospital for Special Surgery. I realized I loved working with families, teens, and young adults, so I began seeing clients at a mental health clinic in Sunnyside, Queens as well. It was extremely rewarding, especially because I grew up in the neighborhood. I worked with teens in high school and helped them transition into college, while helping couples and families cope with life changes and all the adjustments we have to make. Throughout my journey, I made incredible connections and I found myself at Make-A-Wish as the Regional Director of Medical Outreach. I met the most amazing families and helped them navigate a very scary journey. Together, we pushed through the most difficult times. There were many happy endings and celebrations. I now have a private practice in Astoria, Queens, and enjoy working with kids, families, teens, young adults navigating life.
