I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified psychotherapist. I received my Master’s in Social Work from NYU and completed a post-graduate certification in psychotherapy specializing in children and adolescents. I have been working in an outpatient mental health clinic since 2007 and have dealt with a range of issues from bipolar to depression and anxiety in a variety of ages. Although I was classically trained in psychotherapy, I take an eclectic approach to meet the needs of my clients. In 2013, I was trained in a specialized hypnotherapy technique called Quantum Healing Hypnotherapy Technique (QHHT), developed by Dolores Cannon, and have been conducting private sessions since. ​ In 2020, I embarked upon and completed a year-long intensive training of a trauma based therapeutic approach called Compassionate Inquiry developed by Dr. Gabor Mate. It is a mind-body approach to recovering the authentic self through a process that guides the client back to wholeness and truth. ​ On a more personal note, I became very interested in health and wellness while on my own journey to becoming fit and healthy. Through the power of intention, my yoga practice, and clean eating, I was able to drop 30 lbs and get to more optimal health. Through my passion for nutrition, health and wellness, I have been embracing the path of healer, avid reader, and constant learner. I am honored to share my knowledge with others since my transformation has been so empowering and enlightening, and many people ask me how I have accomplished this goal. I believe in the mind-body-spirit connection for ultimate living.
