I believe that healing begins with a trusting relationship between the client and therapist. When you feel safe, seen, and validated, lasting growth and change can become possible. Feeling overwhelmed, depressed, angry, or emotionally exhausted, can make it difficult for you to fully enjoy your life and achieve your goals. Therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and find the relief and peace that you deserve. Clients often appreciate my warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental style. I aim to balance emotional support with adaptive coping mechanisms, helping you gain insight while also building tools you can apply outside of sessions. Together, we'll work toward helping you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and feel more confident navigating all of life's many challenges.

I believe in an integrative approach for therapy. I have a background in various evidence-based practices, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and motivational interviewing. This allows me to tailor treatment to your unique needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I have worked with people who experience a wide range of difficulties and presenting concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, relationship concerns, emotional difficulties, and substance use disorders. I always strive for my work to be trauma-informed and culturally-responsive. 

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in New York State. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Tulane University. I have experience working with people of diverse backgrounds all throughout the lifespan. In addition to private practice, I have worked in various settings such as inpatient psychiatry, crisis intervention, schools, and non-profits.
