I proudly became a member of the CAPS clinical team in August 2022. I am a Bronx, NY, native and moved Upstate, NY, for school several years ago. I obtained my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling and Interdisciplinary Degree in Trauma Studies from SUNY Oswego. I completed my undergraduate program in Psychology at SUNY Cortland.
I have experience working in outpatient, residential, and partial hospital settings. I believe we as humans have different components of self and need to get in-tuned with what each part needs. With a more generalist approach, I assist clients with navigating current life stressors, while also helping them develop appropriate skills needed for emotional wellness. Approaches I gravitate more to are DBT, CBT, and Solution Focused.
My free time is filled with cuddles from my dogs, watching recommended shows on streaming services, spending time in nature, and gardening
