A little bit about me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) from Tampa, Florida. I have experience treating children, adolescents, adults and families with issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and relational conflict.
Education, Training and Experience
I graduated from Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work in New York, NY with a Masters in Social Work (MSW). While in graduate school, I majored in clinical practice with individuals, families and groups. I was accepted into a rigorous accelerated program which I completed in 16 months. I completed my graduate training in NYC working in a school-based clinic and undergraduate counseling center.
I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF CBT). Since graduation, I have worked in nonprofit settings such as community mental health as well as within the charter school system in NYC.
Prior to therapy, I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Baruch College where I received a full scholarship through Macaulay Honors College and developed an interest in psychology through working at the social psychology research laboratory.
My approach to therapy
I am a BIPOC therapist that practices from an anti oppressive/anti racist and social justice orientation. I uniquely understand the struggles of being a person of color and growing up in an immigrant family within a white dominant society. Having grown up in NYC and practiced therapy with a diverse population of clients, I have a special understanding of cultural diversity and this cultural sensitivity is at the forefront of my practice. I have a passion for dismantling the systems that disenfranchise minorities and believe that inner healing and healing generational trauma is the first step in mobilizing our communities. As the great Lauryn Hill once said, "how you gonna win when you ain't right within?".
A little about me
One of my favorite hobbies is being able to immerse myself in other cultures and be able to see life from a different lens and perspective. I have traveled to over 30 countries in my lifetime and plan on continuing to see more of the world. When not traveling, I enjoy spending time outdoors with family and friends at the beach or doing some hiking and kayaking. I also enjoy spending time at home with my two cats. I also thoroughly enjoy food and am always looking to try new restaurants or a new recipe at home.
