Great to meet you!

As a professional psychotherapist I work to help support ndividuals and couples through life transitions, grief and loss, self-discovery, depression, anxiety, trauma, finding motivation, and coping with challenging family dynamics. I Columbia University for my Master of Science in Social Work and New York University for my Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology. I am a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Therapist.

My approach to therapy

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges you experience. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards making a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

What you can expect from me

Through this process we can work together to learn new skills and tools to help connect the past with the present, to gain insight into your life, and challenge any maladaptive thinking patterns that might not be serving you. Each client is on their own unique and personal journey through healing and self-growth. I provide a safe and nurturing space for self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
