Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health clinics, hospitals, and school-based programs. Throughout my career, I have provided treatment for a diverse range of issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, family conflicts, women’s issues, relationship difficulties, and coping with chronic medical conditions. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Drexel University and a Master’s in Social Work from Adelphi University.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am dedicated to providing compassionate and empowering support to individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, working closely with you to navigate and overcome the obstacles you may face. I believe that humor can be a powerful tool in therapy, helping to lighten the emotional load. With a blend of warmth, understanding, and a dash of humor, I aim to make our sessions both productive and enjoyable.

What you can expect from our first session

I utilize a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and a strength-based approach. CBT helps in identifying and challenging negative thought patterns. Mindfulness encourages a deeper connection with the present moment, enhancing your emotional resilience. Together, we work to uncover and harness your strengths, empowering you to face life’s challenges with confidence and clarity. My goal is to support you in building a balanced life, guiding you towards meaningful change.
