Great to meet you!

Hey there 👋🏾! I am a native New Yorker who has met people from all walks of life. My journey into social work and therapy developed from a childhood curiosity about others' journeys and a desire for everyone to be comfortable in their own skin. I am a graduate of Binghamton University and Fordham University Graduate School of Social Work. I have worked professionally in child and family services and with those of us living with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) in NYC.

My approach to therapy

My style is informal and inquisitive. I will use cognitive behavioral techniques to help you reframe your perspective on your experiences.

What you can expect from me

Together, we create a safe space where you can share and be heard with no judgment. My goal for my clients is to be introspective and practice grace with themselves.
