Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a degree from Columbia University Graduate School of Social Work. I have been a therapist for over 25 years, helping children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in my private practice and in mental health, hospital, and school settings. My background also includes working with clients who are neurotypical and neurodivergent experiencing a range of concerns, including life transitions, relationships, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, medical conditions, and grief.

My approach to therapy

Throughout our meetings, I'll create a safe and open space so that you can feel comfortable sharing with me and I can get to know you as an individual. I'll also remain flexible in my approach so that I could best help you to build upon your strengths and to meet your desired goals.
