"My journey began at Seton Hall University, where I earned my B.A. in Psychology, delving into abnormal psychology, psychological development, and attachment theory. Post undergraduate education, I went on to attain my Psy.D. (Doctor of Psychology) from Kean University, focusing on mindfulness and trauma recovery.

I then went on to complete my pre-doctoral internship, as well as my post-doctoral fellowship at the Brattleboro Retreat in Brattleboro, Vermont. Here I provided therapy across all levels of care (individual outpatient psychotherapy through inpatient), particularly in trauma and addiction treatment for first responders. Additionally, I co-developed mindfulness programs for law enforcement agencies, furthering my commitment to trauma-informed care.

As a member of professional associations like ACBS (Association for Contextual Behavioral Science) and ABCT (Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies), and serving on the board of the NYC Association for Contextual Behavior Science, I remain dedicated to ongoing education and community involvement.

In my practice, I aim to guide clients through their emotional landscapes, fostering insight and resilience. Together, we navigate life's challenges toward a more meaningful existence.

I'm deeply committed to fostering emotional and psychological strength in my clients. Therapy isn't just about being 'okay'; it's about accessing a more complete life. My life’s passion and work is centered on helping you Create Change Through Compassion, Courage, and Connection!”
