Great to meet you!

For over 24 years, I've been a licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping people move through life's hardest moments with compassion and clarity. I hold a Master's in Social Work from New York University and have built my practice across New York City, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area — work that's given me a deep appreciation for how varied our life experiences and needs can be.

I provide trauma-informed care to clients of all ages, with particular focus on life transitions, stress management, relationship repair, crisis support, and treating anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles.

My approach to therapy

My approach is holistic, warm, intentional, and solution-focused. I believe healing isn't just about the mind — it's connected to the body, our habits, and our overall well-being — so I often integrate nutrition and wellness into our collaborative work together.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, there's no pressure to have it all figured out. We'll simply talk about what brought you to therapy and explore the areas of your life — past or present — that have caused you pain or discomfort. Together, we'll get a feel for whether I'm the right therapist for you, because that fit matters as much as the work itself.
