Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable and understood. I hold a Master of Social Work Degree from LIU Post and have extensive experience working with individuals facing severe mental illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use challenges. My background includes both leadership roles in mental health and substance abuse programs as well as private practice. I aim to create a supportive, down-to-earth space where you can feel heard, build skills, and move forward with confidence.

My approach to therapy is client-centered and supportive. I believe in starting where my client is and working at their pace. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to build insight, develop coping skills, and make meaningful changes to improve their quality of life.

Starting therapy with someone new can feel uncomfortable, and I understand that. My number one priority in our first session is helping you feel comfortable and at ease. We will spend time getting to know each other and building rapport so communication feels natural. I also focus on creating trust, so you can feel safe and confident that I am here to support you in working toward your goals and improving your emotional well-being. You set the pace, and we will take things one step at a time.
