Great to meet you!

I received my MSW from Columbia University and have been a clinician for 8 years. I incorporate CBT with a psychodynamic approach in order to both affirm and challenge clients. My practice is rooted in a strengths-based and person-centered approach. To help you meet your goals, I prioritize understanding you and where your identity, values, and life experiences intersect.

My approach to therapy

I am committed to providing a supportive therapeutic space where clients can feel empowered to overcome obstacles. I aim to help clients improve their mood and ability to cope effectively by highlighting existing strengths.

What you can expect from me

I believe the foundation of therapy is the partnership between the therapist and client. I work to create a trusting and safe space, where you can express yourself without judgment or shame. I believe we are all capable of change and growth. With your goals in mind, my role is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, create effective coping strategies, and build confidence in your own strengths and abilities.
