Welcome to our site, I’m so glad you’re here!
At The Prism Practice, we know that life doesn’t come with a roadmap—your needs, challenges, and dreams are constantly evolving. That’s why our approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’re here to meet you exactly where you are, with warmth, realness, and the kind of support that actually makes a difference. Our clinicians consider it a privilege to walk alongside you, not just as therapists, but as compassionate partners in your growth.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone; we’re here, ready to tackle your challenges and co-create the life you've been hoping for.
As the founder of The Prism Practice, my mission is to ensure that every client feels prioritized, validated, and empowered as they navigate their unique path to mental health and personal fulfillment. I’ve dedicated my career to helping people embrace vulnerability, confront life’s challenges, discover their voices, and reach their full potential. With a degree in Psychology from the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Hunter College, a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University, I bring years of experience and a heartfelt commitment to building meaningful, transformative connections with each each of you.
