About Me

I graduated from Manhattan College with a Professional Certificate in Mental Health Counseling and completed my clinical training at Social Work Counseling Services, PLLC in Astoria, NY, where I worked with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance use, and major life transitions.

I completed my internship at The Bereavement Center of Westchester, facilitating grief support groups for children ages 6–10 who had experienced the loss of a parent or sibling.  In addition, I provided individual counseling across the lifespan focused on grief, loss, and healing.

I also hold a Master of Science Degree in Guidance and Counseling from The College of New Rochelle. After 26 years of service, I am a retired guidance counselor with New York City Public Schools, where I provided individual and group counseling to a diverse student population, supporting academic success, emotional development, and career growth.

Today, my work is focused on helping high-achieving adults understand and heal attachment patterns that impact their relationships, sense of self, and emotional well-being. I specialize in supporting clients who are highly successful and capable, yet internally struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional disconnection, and relationship insecurity.   My approach is warm, direct, and deeply transformative, with a focus on creating lasting change and fostering more secure ways of relating to self and others.
