“Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through difficult moments and life changes. I earned my MSW from NYU and have worked extensively in hospital and emergency mental health settings, helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex life challenges. I believe therapy should feel supportive, honest, and grounded in real life. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly.”

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and personalized to your needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and strengths-based approaches to help clients better understand patterns, develop coping skills, and make meaningful changes. Some clients want tools to manage stress and anxiety, while others want deeper insight into relationships or long-standing struggles. Together, we will find an approach that feels helpful and fits your goals.

In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brought you to therapy. You can expect a relaxed, supportive conversation where there is no pressure to have everything figured out. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, history, and goals so we can start building a plan that feels realistic and helpful. Most importantly, my focus is on helping you feel heard, understood, and comfortable moving forward
