Great to meet you!

I graduated from Columbia University in New York City and started to work with the Department of Children and Families as a social worker/ counselor.

In 2015, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and began working as a trauma counselor.

I use renowned trauma-focused approaches to help many individuals and families overcome the confinement of their painful past.

My approach to therapy

The most important thing you need to know when working with me is...

I value you and your narrative.


We have within us the ability to heal ourselves and move past our pain; but in a world flooded with so much input and advice, we tend to get lost in the chaos. We rely more on other’s advice and opinions and less on our own internal resources.

In therapy, you’ll discover inner strength, and I’ll help bring out this strength so that you can be great.

What you can expect from me

In therapy, you will learn that your thoughts influence your emotions


your emotions influence your behaviors... your behaviors influence how the world interacts with you – this will strengthen the thought you initially had. So, if you had a negative thought, you will have a negative emotion. This negative emotion will influence a negative behavior, and others will interact with you in a negative way that will confirm your negative thought – and the cycle continues. We will explore these together.
