Great to meet you!

Greetings. I am a licensed therapist committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment where people are empowered to explore their experiences and work towards meaningful change. My practice is grounded in respect, empathy and a person-centered approach that privileges the experiences of those seeking therapy. Using an eclectic, strength-based approach, I help clients manage symptoms and build resilience as they travel along their healing journeys.

My approach to therapy

I graduated from Long Island University with a Doctorate of Social Work and I am trained in Trauma-Informed therapy, CBT, EMDR, MI, bound with a healthy dose of cultural humility and curiosity, acknowledging that people are the experts in their lives' and often just need a safe space where they are heard.

What you can expect from me

Ultimately, my practice is rooted in active listening ensuring clients' concerns are heard and they are equipped to face life's challenges with greater insight. I invite you to reach out for your free 15-minute consultation where we will explore and assess if your concerns are a good fit for my practice.
