Great to meet you!

I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my practice. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety and life transitions. I received my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the State University of New York in Buffalo.

My approach is one of compassion and non-judgement. Our sessions are tailored to your unique needs and goals so you can gain new skills and strategies. I believe in your capacity for growth and empowerment.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in empowering individuals who wrestle with uncertainty, doubts and anxiety. Drawing from evidence-based practices, we will focus exclusively on a personalized approach with the right tools, insights and interventions to foster lasting change and live a more fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

We will work together to create a compassionate, understanding and safe space, sprinkled with humor, for greater self reflection. Together we will identify and explore underlying patterns, develop coping strategies, and create a deeper sense of self love and awareness.
