Great to meet you!

With over 15 years of experience in human services, I am a dedicated and compassionate social worker committed to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of New Haven and my Master of Social Work from Fordham University.

Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles and developed extensive experience in crisis intervention, community engagement, and client advocacy. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

My approach to therapy

I provide evidence‐based, compassionate mental health support designed to help you navigate life’s challenges and build long‐term well‐being. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship stress, or simply seeking personal growth. I'm here help you gain clarity and more toward a healthier, more balanced life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect for me to meet you where you are. I believe healing begins when you’re heard.
