Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood from our very first session. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to help clients build practical skills, confidence, and resilience.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Columbia University and my Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Johnson & Wales University. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I have experience working in schools, family-based services, and intensive outpatient care.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing OCD, anxiety disorders, panic, social anxiety, and life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive-Based Therapy (CBT), and tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I'm committed to helping you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to make meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I believe that every client is unique, so I tailor treatment to your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I use evidence-based therapies, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients better understand their thoughts, manage difficult emotions, and develop practical skills for lasting change.

My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable challenging yourself, celebrating progress, and building confidence both in and outside of therapy.

Together, we'll work to help you overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. We will spend time getting to know you, learning about what brings you to therapy, discussing your goals, and identifying the areas where you would like support.

I view therapy as a collaborative process, so we will work together to create a treatment approach that feels right for you. I may ask questions about your experiences, strengths, challenges, relationships, and daily life to better understand the full picture and how I can best support you.

You can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. By the end of our first session, we will begin identifying next steps and creating a plan to help you build skills, manage challenges, and move toward meaningful change.
