Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of clinical experience and a Masters in Social Work from NYU. Having worked in both Foster Care and Health Care systems, I bring a depth of knowledge in treating individuals across a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, and life transitions. I am certified and specialize in Brainspotting, a relational brain-body based therapy that taps into the brain's natural ability to release emotional distress.

My approach to therapy

My clients describe me as supportive, attuned, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I believe that we are gifted with brains that can heal from within. Holding space for that healing, I will walk with you every step of the way.


You are the expert in your own life. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.

What you can expect from me

I will work collaboratively with you to customize a personalized treatment plan. This plan will aim to help you overcome obstacles, resolve past traumas, improve relationships, better manage difficult emotions, improve self-esteem and achieve a more fulfilling, healthier and happier life.


By accessing your deeper resilience and wisdom with a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brainspotting and Motivational Interviewing, you will walk away with more clarity, confidence and balance.
