Great to meet you!

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you cannot seem to break, or

simply ready for something to feel different, I would be glad to work alongside you. I am a

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 17 years of experience supporting

individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, grief,

and major life transitions. I work collaboratively, drawing on evidence-based approaches

tailored to each person's unique situation, because no two people navigate their inner

world the same way. I offer a warm, direct space where you can feel genuinely heard and

move toward real change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. I draw

on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, Psychodynamic therapy, and Narrative approaches,

selecting what fits you and your situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

For couples and families, I also integrate Behavioral Couples Therapy, Structural Family

Therapy, and Bowen Family Systems work. My goal is to help you gain insight into the

patterns shaping your experiences, build practical skills, and move toward meaningful,

lasting change.

What you can expect from me

My therapeutic style is warm and direct, creating a safe space where clients can explore their experiences, develop meaningful coping strategies, and cultivate personal growth. I'm passionate about empowering individuals to understand themselves more deeply and build healthier, more fulfilling connections in their lives.
