Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and addiction specialist with nearly 20 years of experience helping diverse clients achieve their personal and professional goals. I specialize in the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, parenting, career/work concerns, adjustment issues, life transitions, major mental illness, and trauma. My background includes consulting with top law firms and counseling employees at Fortune 500 companies including Broadridge, Microsoft, BlackRock, JP Morgan, McDermott, Will & Emery, Kirkland & Ellis, and Delta Airlines. I was trained in prestigious hospitals and spent seven years working at Rikers Island Correctional Facility, providing trauma-informed therapy and solution-focused counseling. I am experienced in developing and facilitating trainings and presented on topics including: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, Managing ADHD at Work, Tips for Developing Emotional Intelligence at Work, and more.

My approach to therapy

I use an eclectic approach to therapy, tailored to the goals and preferences of the client. My treatment style is integrative and strength-based and can incorporate tenets of CBT, motivational interviewing, crisis management, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed counseling, depending on the client’s unique situation. I enjoy nothing more than bringing out the best in others, seeing them grow, and helping them attain peace and happiness that has eluded them.

What you can expect from me

Expect a therapeutic environment that is compassionate, empathetic, and safe. I provide clients with insights into their experiences, advice on how to handle issues, and evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions.
