Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NY & CA) with an MSW from NYU and a BA in Communications from Northwestern. With 14 years as a professional actor and teaching artist, I incorporate creativity into my eclectic therapeutic approach, which includes CBT, mindfulness, expressive arts, and psychodynamics. I specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relational challenges, and personal growth.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy with warmth and flexibility, adapting to each client’s unique journey. My goal is to foster a safe, compassionate environment where challenges can be explored and strengths uncovered. By blending evidence-based practices with creative techniques, I empower clients to gain clarity, develop tools for growth, and reconnect with their passions and values.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and energizing environment that encourages exploration and self-expression. I aim to help you cultivate resilience, strengthen communication, and discover tools to navigate life’s challenges. Together, we’ll focus on fostering emotional balance, building confidence, and creating a renewed sense of purpose and joy!
