Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with over 8 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and families through a wide range of life challenges. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

I view therapy as a space to explore challenges from a holistic, eclectic, and ecological perspective. Together, we look not only at symptoms, but also at patterns, relationships, and life experiences that influence where you are now. I believe that the difficulties that arise in life can become opportunities for growth and expansion—when approached with curiosity, support, and willingness to explore.

I currently offer telehealth services for clients across New York.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, person-centered, and rooted in problem-solving while also honoring the emotional, behavioral, and environmental factors that shape our experiences. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, trauma-informed care, and expressive/creative arts approaches to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a supportive, thoughtful, and engaged therapeutic environment where they feel heard and empowered. My goal is to help you build insight, develop practical tools, and move toward meaningful and lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
