Great to meet you!

I am licensed in New Jersey, New York and Virginia with 7 years of professional work experience. I have a Master's degree in Social Work from Lehman College. I have experience in helping clients with managing stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I treat adults ages 18+.

My approach to therapy

My mission is to support, guide, inspire, motivate, educate, and empower people. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a short-term treatment approach. CBT helps with emotional regulation.

What you can expect from me

Clients will take away a healthier new way of thinking, and be able to conceptualize their thoughts, feelings, and emotions without placing judgment on themselves. In addition, my clients will be able to apply self-compassion techniques when faced with a stressful event.
