Welcome,
About My Practice
In my psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy practice, I view the therapy room as a unique space—a microcosm of the outside world where we can explore the dynamics and patterns that shape your life. Together, we’ll work to understand and name the interactions, emotions, and experiences that arise between us in sessions. By shining a light on these often unseen dynamics, we open the door to new insights and develop practical tools for meaningful change.
While I prefer the depth of in-person work, I also offer tele-therapy for older adolescents and adults to ensure that my practice is accessible and adaptable to your need
The Commitment to Change
I believe that psychotherapy can be transformative—but only if you’re open, curious, and ready to engage with the process. Consistent weekly sessions are key, fostering a therapeutic relationship that deepens over time and strengthens our work together. This commitment is essential to creating lasting outcomes.
Your Story, Rewritten
In our work, sharing your story isn’t just about understanding the events that brought you here; it’s about learning to shape your own narrative moving forward. Therapy offers you the opportunity to be the active author of your life’s story, moving beyond what has happened to explore what is possible.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s many challenges. My practice is based in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, where I strive to create a safe, welcoming space for clients of all ages—children, teens, and adults—to explore their experiences and uncover new paths to well-being.
I grew up on the East Coast as a first-generation American of mixed European and Latin American heritage. Navigating a multifaceted identity inspired in me a deep appreciation for the many ways people define themselves and find belonging. This background continues to shape my work, bringing a sense of introspection and openness to each session. As a therapist, I see self-reflection and adaptability as essential traits that I encourage in my clients—and practice in myself. I feel honored to support clients in their journeys of self-discovery, healing, and identity cohesion.
My academic foundation includes a Master’s in Social Work from New York University and a certificate in infant, child, and adolescent psychotherapy from the New York Institute for Psychotherapy Training (NYIPT). I’ve also pursued advanced training with the Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity (IPSS) and am committed to lifelong learning through regular psychoanalytic workshops and conferences. In 2022, I presented at the Division 39 Psychoanalytic Psychology annual conference, where I shared insights on teletherapy and the evolving understanding of gender in therapeutic spaces.
Prior to starting my private practice, I worked in a variety of settings, including an outpatient hospital, schools, community-based clinics, and with families in the foster care system. These roles have helped me cultivate a compassionate, client-centered approach that honors each individual’s unique story and challenges.
At the heart of my practice is a belief that true change begins with understanding and connection. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I look forward to being part of your journey toward healing, resilience, and greater self-compassion.
