Life inevitably brings both challenges and opportunities for growth. In the face of difficulty, it’s common to feel overwhelmed or stuck. Taking time to check in with yourself—and engage in the reflective, goal-oriented process of therapy—can help you reconnect with your strengths and resilience.

In my work, I support clients in identifying and clarifying their therapeutic goals, and in moving toward them step by step. I believe mental health is a vital part of overall wellness, and that small, intentional efforts each day can nurture our capacity for contentment and balance.

I earned my MSW from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and have been a licensed social worker since 2017. I also hold a JD from DePaul University College of Law. My experience includes both public service and private practice, working with individuals across the lifespan—particularly those navigating relational trauma and traumatic stress.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-responsive practices including Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and tools from my training as a meditation and yoga instructor. This allows me to tailor therapy to meet the unique needs of each client.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I collaborate closely with each client, adapting our work to your learning style, preferences, and goals. Together, we’ll build a path that helps you connect more deeply with your own potential for wellbeing.
