- Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialization in cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. I take a collaborative and empathetic stance as a therapist, focusing on the interplay between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. My clients and I approach emotional difficulties using science-based models, identifying maladaptive thought and behavioral patterns and targeting them in an active and collaborative way. I also incorporate various evidence-based treatment methods that utilize values (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and practical emotion regulation skills (based in Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
I received my PhD degree in Clinical Psychology from Boston University and have been at Columbia University since 2020, completing a Fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry. Additionally, I have extensive clinical training from top notch medical institutions, such as Harvard Medical School, Penn Medicine, and Weill Cornell Medicine,

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
