Great to meet you!

Welcome! I have over 14 years experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). My educational background is from Stony Brook University (undergrad and graduate). I am also bilingual (Spanish). I have extensive experience within the mental health field and have worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I enjoy working with all different kinds of populations and age ranges. We will work together in order to meet goals at a pace that works for you!

My approach to therapy

My priority is to create a safe space for self-exploration and growth. I am compassionate, relatable and genuinely interested in getting to know whomever I get to work with. I pull from a variety of treatment modalities in order to offer the most appropriate care for the person sitting in the virtual seat across the screen.

What you can expect from me

Therapy is a journey of change. I will be here with you to to offer support and guidance so that you can create the growth and change that you desire. It is important to me that you feel safe and comfortable in order to work together on setting and reaching goals.
