Great to meet you!

Nice meeting you!

A bit about me, I graduated with my MSW at Columbia University and come with 15+ year experience with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach to therapy starts by being present, listening deeply, with non-judgmental empathy to support my clients work towards their goals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

While the bulk of my approach involves helping you develop greater insight into your situation, my approach is deep rooted in strength-based therapy and utilizing CBT, trauma focused CBT, psychodynamic, and interpersonal therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

A safe, comfortable setting in which to explore and share your inner struggles, aspirations and goals of therapy. We collaborate and come up with a treatment plan together based on your needs and priorities and personal style. I believe that a client is an expert in his/her/their own life, and I am here to support and empower them to navigate and achieve their true potential.
