Great to meet you!

Congratulations on taking the first step in reaching out for support. I am pleased to meet you on your journey of self care and growth. I have been a licensed therapist, LCSW, for over 18+ years, obtaining my master's degree from New York University. I've worked in many areas (healthcare, schools etc.) and specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss and trauma.

My approach to therapy

I consider my therapeutic approach to be personable and genuine. Therapy isn’t always easy, which is why I emphasize that therapy is a team approach, starting where you are and working together to make positive changes. I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative, and empowering. I believe that fostering a welcoming, safe, and secure therapeutic relationship is important. I want my clients to feel heard, seen and understood.

What you can expect from me

In creating a safe and collaborative approach, I work with you in identifying your goals, we work on reducing specific symptoms and increasing a sense of regaining control in your life. In our sessions, you will be able to understand and learn about your thoughts and reactions to situations, learn healthy ways of coping and overcoming challenges.
