I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, and personality disorders, as well as those navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and cultural and immigration-related issues. I believe in the importance of exploring how past relationships and early experiences, including cultural factors and familial histories, have influenced how you interact with yourself and the world. Drawing on my extensive training in multicultural and psychodynamic psychotherapy, I tailor our work to meet your needs, We will collaboratively work towards obtaining your most actualized and integrated self.
I practice primarily from a relational psychodynamic framework, which enables me to create an environment of curiosity and warmth, while we work together to explore and address the roots of your struggles. I have also found integrating various treatment approaches to best fit each individual's needs beneficial, and am trained in DBT, CBT, ACT, and IFS.
I hold a Doctoral degree from Columbia University and have served as faculty at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). My training includes a predoctoral internship at Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance and a postdoctoral fellowship at CUMC. If you think we might be a good match, please email me to set up a consultation call.
