Great to meet you!

I am so excited to meet you! I graduated from NYU, School of Social work and have been in the field of social work for many years. I work with clients to co-create an empathic, intentional and mindful space where we can move through difficult life transitions. I have worked with clients who have experienced PTSD, domestic violence, sexual abuse/assault, grief and bereavement, families going through adoption and fertility struggles, OCD, and pre/postpartum, within the LGBTQIA community.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My hope as a therapist is to help clients feel seen and understood as the entire person that they know to be true for themselves. My clinical approaches are aligned with your needs and wants for yourself. My therapeutic style is easy-going and extremely supportive.

What you can expect from our first session

In our first session (s) we will work together to create goals and outcomes that align with your needs today and for the future. In working with me, you can expect to move through difficult emotions while also learning who you are. I will work to ensure you feel heard and seen while also learning to create boundaries, practice accountability, and gain empowerment
