Great to meet you!

I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!

My approach to therapy

I provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental space to discuss your concerns. If you decide to work with me, I will radically and unconditionally accept and support you and always have your best interest in mind. I am solution-oriented and stay abreast the most current research in the field. Therapy is a journey and we will get you where you want to be one step at a time.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to learn skills and information that will help them manage and better understand their symptoms. Additionally, clients can expect to feel like they are making progress and taking action steps towards their long-term goals.
