Great to meet you!

I am a New York State licensed Clinical Social Worker who is committed to providing my clients with the tools necessary to learn, grow and heal. I graduated from Adelphi University with my Master's in Social Work and have over 12 years of professional experience working with various populations in a variety of different roles and settings. I have devoted the last couple of years to private practice providing individual, family, and couples counseling to adolescents and adults.

My approach to therapy

I can assist with a variety of emotional and psychological concerns; such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief /loss, and family conflict. I use a multitude of evidenced based practice interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based perspective that focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness.

What you can expect from me

I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard and treated with dignity and respect. Together, we will practice the skills necessary in challenging your thought processes and changing your perspective into one that is more positive and allows your best qualities to shine through. Everyone is capable of growth and I am here to guide, empower and support you along the way.
