- 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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
