Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my MSW from Rutgers University in 2020. I’m deeply passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves through authenticity, creativity, and meaningful self-expression.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is dynamic, engaging, and trauma-informed. I blend structure with flexibility, and I aim to be solution-focused while still making space for insight, curiosity, and growth. Clients often experience me as warm, energetic, and genuine, with a touch of humor to keep things approachable.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, collaborative space where I seek to learn your current stressors, long-standing patterns, self-talk, and the unique way you experience and process the world.
