About My Clients

Are you struggling with mental health, LGBTQIA+ issues, or both? Are you motivated to engage in therapy and have specific issues to address? If so, brief integrative psychotherapy is a great way to work through these issues. I'd love to partner with you and help you achieve your desired goals on your journey toward mental well-being.

My Background and Approach

Since graduating from Columbia University in 2018, I have gained extensive experience working in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, non-profits, and substance abuse treatment centers. My professional journey has involved supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, such as HIV and cancer, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I specialize in addressing severe mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, OCD,, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and PTSD. My particular areas of expertise are LGBTQIA+ issues and HIV/AIDS.
