About

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist deeply embedded in the Bronx community, my practice is dedicated to providing culturally responsive, evidence-based mental health care to one of New York’s most resilient and diverse populations. With specialized training in trauma-informed therapies, mood disorders, and community psychology, I address complex psychological needs while actively confronting systemic barriers to wellness—from healthcare inequities to socioeconomic stressors. My work spans individual therapy, psychological assessment, and collaborative advocacy, all grounded in a commitment to empowering Bronx residents through accessible, dignified care. Whether supporting adolescents navigating identity challenges, adults healing from intergenerational trauma, or families rebuilding stability, I center resilience, cultural humility, and social justice in every intervention
