I am currently a Psychological Assistant and I am working towards licensure. I completed my Doctoral Program at John F. Kennedy University. I place a huge importance on being culturally sensitive with all my clients and creating a safe and comfortable environment. My primary goal in pursuit of a career in psychology is to provide education, reduce the stigma of mental health and help my clients achieve quality of life. My experience has been very diverse in various clinical settings, with a wide range of pathologies. I have experience in behavioral medicine, individual and group therapy and inpatient and outpatient assessment. I have worked with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, domestic violence, anger/aggression, addiction, and chronic illness/pain. However, I take a strong interest in helping clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression. My approach to helping clients begins with education and providing coping strategies, which then transitions to helping my clients identify their thinking patterns and core beliefs to gain different perspectives and shift their way of thinking.
