Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience and a Master’s degree from Hunter College. I bring a warm, energetic, and positive approach to therapy, while staying grounded and honest about life’s challenges. I believe in a strengths-based approach that helps clients feel empowered, supported, and capable of meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and optimistic—without pretending life is always easy. I focus on helping clients build insight, develop practical tools, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels realistic. Therapy with me is active and supportive, not just talking in circles. I aim to create a space where you feel encouraged, understood, and empowered to grow.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about understanding what’s bringing you in and what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll talk through your concerns, begin identifying goals, and make sure the space feels comfortable and supportive. You can expect a calm, welcoming environment and a clear sense of next steps.
