Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and Florida, and I’ve spent over a decade helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate difficult seasons of life. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the many emotions that can come with feeling stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is a partnership where we work together to help you make meaningful changes and feel more confident navigating life. I’m warm, supportive, and straightforward when needed, creating a safe space where you can feel heard, respected, and understood.

I use an integrative, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach, drawing from cognitive behavioral and attachment-based therapies. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build self-awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and strengthen resilience.

My goal is to help you cultivate greater self-compassion and create a life that feels more balanced, flexible, and aligned with your values.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and respected. We'll take time to understand what's bringing you to therapy, explore what matters most to you, and identify goals that feel meaningful. My objective is for you to leave each session with greater clarity, practical tools, and a sense of hope.
