I have been working in mental health services for about 20 years. I graduated from Columbia University with my MSW, obtained my clinical license, and went on to work in hospitals, higher education, and non-profits. I specialize in utilizing mindfulness, somatics, a solution-focused, and strengths-based approach. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your healing, growth, and exploration journey.
My approach is rooted in Systems Theory: the interconnectedness of our communities and systems, and their impact on individuals. I am continually in awe of the generative process of personal transformation and the power of human connection. I bring a deep sense of presence in my sessions, provide helpful concrete tools, and strive to follow your lead as you uncover your path forward.
In the first session or two, we will discuss your reason for reaching out, personal history, symptoms/challenges you may be dealing with, and what you are hoping for in our time together. We will also touch on short-term and long-term goals - if these are unclear, don't worry, we can work on clarifying those as we go along. The priority will be having a foundational level of safety and working towards ease and alignment in your day-to-day.
