Great to meet you!

I have years of experience working with all ages in various settings. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient hospitals, vocational programs, K-12 schools and now private practice. I received my Master's degree from St. Johns University in 2019 and have been working in this field ever since.

My approach to therapy

My approach is centered around establishing rapport and ensuring you feel comfortable opening up. I’m committed to offering guidance and evidence-based strategies to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your full potential. I mainly utilize CBT and DBT, but you can find me using skills and references of Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing and Play Therapy.

What you can expect from me

I often hear individuals not receiving solutions when in therapy and it is my goal to change that. With me, you'll learn to navigate relationships more effectively, increase effective communication, build resilience, as well as many other skills. As we progress, you can expect to feel more empowered, experience reduced symptoms, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotional patterns, leading to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
