Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist to a wide range of individuals. I have worked with clients who present with General Anxiety Disorder all the way to those who are Seriously Mental Ill. My areas of knowledge are centered around depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem. I am also able to address past and present trauma, that have changed the course of your life.

My approach to therapy

Working with me means doing the work that you are worthy of. No one type of therapy fits all but I do want you to put in the work so that you can relish in the rewards. I will laugh with you and cry with you but I will also challenge you if needed. I like to give assignments to keep the flow of knowledge going but you choose how to approach these.

What you can expect from me

I believe that therapy is a gift and has something to offer everyone.Those gifts come in the form of healing, empowerment, effective communication, and recovery to name a few.


I want to teach you the power of transcendence. This is the idea that we can all overcome our present. Although life is filled with feelings of inadequacy and failures, we are all connected by this truth and we can all climb out of it.
