Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in New York and Connecticut with over a decade of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I earned my master’s degree from Columbia University and completed a post-master’s certificate in trauma-informed clinical practice at NYU. I work collaboratively and at your pace, drawing from trauma-informed care, CBT, and CPT to help you feel more grounded, gain clarity, and create meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, we may integrate talk therapy, mindfulness, and gentle body-based practices to help you feel more grounded and connected. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, shaped by training in CBT, CPT, and my advanced yoga teacher training, and always guided by what feels most supportive for you.

What you can expect from me

We’ll begin by getting to know each other and identifying the goals that feel most important to you. As we move forward, each session builds on the last, integrating reflection on thoughts and behaviors with gentle attention to how experiences may be held in the body.
