I received my Master of Social Work Degree from New York University. I have over 20 years of experience working in both direct practice and supervisory roles supporting youth and their families. I began working in the mental health field as I feel being a part of another's healing journey is both and honor and privilege. In my spare time I enjoy being in nature and participating in various sports and fitness activities to support mind and body connections.
I approach therapy as a personal and collaborative journey. I am passionate about supporting children, teens, young adults, and families as they navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and the unique experiences of the LGBTQ+ community with sensitivity and respect.
I blend evidenced-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and attachment based therapy with a client centered, strengths based approach but I believe what matters most is meeting you where you are. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where each person is seen, understood, and empowered. I tailor my approach to fit you and/or your family’s unique needs and goals- walking alongside you to find balance, connection, and hope.
Out first session is a chance to get to know you. What to expect from our first session is hard to say as I tailor the first session and every session thereafter to where you are at. It is my goal to create a space each and every session for you, the client, or your child or teen fostering a warm, safe space where you and they feel heard, accepted, and supported at your own pace.
