Its name notwithstanding, the College is committed to a vision of education writ large, encompassing our four core areas of expertise: health, education, leadership, and psychology. Teachers College sees its leadership role in two complementary arenas. One is as a major player in policy-making to ensure that schools are reformed and restructured to welcome all students regardless of their socio-economic circumstances. The other is in preparing educators who not only serve students directly but also coordinate the educational, psychological, behavioral, technological, and health initiatives to remove barriers to learning at all ages.Taken from tc.columbia.edu/abouttc/.

    • The feeling good center

      Dec 2018 - Aug 2019
      Cbt psychotherapist (level 1)

      Life often presents frustrating challenges that force us to search for a new center of gravity, but therapy helps us find a new way to stand. Coming to therapy is the first step to changing the way you feel when stressors have you feeling off-center, so let’s find your balance. It’s important to be pragmatic and realistic with your self-care. I believe in highlighting your strengths and working together to create strategies that work for you. I can provide new perspectives that can help change how you think, and ultimately how you feel.Together, we can create reasonable goals to help find what works for you. I have collaborated with clients seeking to address problems in their relationships and how they interact with others, and I have supported adolescents struggling with substance use, and other risky behavior. Anxiety and depression are some of the various conditions that I treat.I received my Master of Arts and Master of Education in Psychological Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University in 2017.
