I attended Pace University and Mercy College for undergraduate and graduate studies. During my college career, I worked in an OMH residential program providing services to adult individuals with chronic and persistent mental health challenges.

After earning my Master’s, my work transitioned to providing services to teens and parents where there was significant struggle with parenting as well as adolescent mental health and behavior challenges.

My work with Unaccompanied Minors presenting with trauma, abuse, and familial challenges, as been the most rewarding, as it allowed me the opportunity to reunite children with parents and family after many years of separation.

After working with adults struggling with addiction, I transition to solo practice during the COVID pandemic. There was an immense need in support members of the NYC community to address the rise of mental health struggles that arose that include heightened fears and anxieties around health, death, grief, job losses, job demand in healthcare field, this rise in domestic abuse and the difficult adjustment to isolation and distance from loved ones.
