Great to meet you!

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family and relationship concerns, cultural and ethnic concerns, physical health concerns, men’s issues, end-of-life care, and trauma or PTSD. I offer individual virtual therapy and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York.

My approach to therapy

I start by understanding why you’re seeking support now and then work with you to develop an action plan for the challenges you want to address. I draw from solution-focused, strengths-based, cognitive behavioral, cognitive processing, interpersonal, mindfulness-based, and internal family systems approaches.

What you can expect from me

Sessions are focused on making sense of your needs, building on strengths you already use, and identifying practical steps that can support you between visits.
