Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University. My approach is to help clients feel comfortable sharing, overcome feelings of hopelessness and frustration, and find acceptance and times of peace and joy.

My approach to therapy

Every client brings a unique set of experiences, concerns and strengths. Therapy is tailored to what you feel is important to you. I am comfortable with person centered, problem focused brief therapy and other approaches. I have experience with CBT, Modern Psychoanalytic approaches, 12 steps and other spiritually based modalities. Some clients want to discuss gender and sexuality, life goals, neurodivergence including discerning their neurotype, and post diagnostic support. My background includes experience with individuals who live with chronic illnesses, and those providing care for loved ones who are ill.

What you can expect from me

I hope to work with individuals who want support, encouragement to pursue various goals, and process and overcome struggles. You are the expert in you, and I am looking forward to getting to know you and assisting you in your journey.
