Great to meet you!

I received my doctorate in school-clinical child psychology from Pace University and specialize in working will children, teens and adults. I am passionate about providing supportive and structured care to my clients. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic modalities. I also find that having a relational approach to therapy is the most important for therapeutic progress.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in a variety of approaches, but I find the most important element in therapy is my relationship with my clients. I will take the time to get to know you and what is bringing you to therapy. Together, we will identify specific goals you want to reach. I'll be there to provide support and accountability along the way. Sometimes people need a safe space to just share what's on their minds/happening in their lives and that's what I try to offer.

What you can expect from me

I want my clients to have space to say whatever they need and get an empathetic, supportive response on the other end. I also know sometimes people need a little guidance and a push to start making some real changes in their lives. My goal is to provide concrete tools and suggestions that you then practice and determine if they are right for you.
