Great to meet you!

As a dedicated psychotherapist, I specialize in providing compassionate support to individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My approach is rooted in meeting clients where they are, fostering a safe environment, and empowering them to navigate towards their desired outcomes.

I have a master’s degree in social work and I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York.

My approach to therapy

I employ a person-centered, strengths-based and trauma-informed framework, tailored to the unique circumstances of each individual. Recognizing the distinctiveness of each person's journey, I prioritize individualized care and firmly believe that each client possesses inherent expertise in their own life. Utilizing modalities such as CBT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy, I integrate mindfulness techniques to promote holistic healing.

What you can expect from me

There can be many goals for the therapy relationship. During our first session we will establish what these goals are; some possibilities are improving your quality of life, healing trauma, or self-actualization. Others could be decreasing anxiety and depression symptoms, developing healthy relationships, or changing problem behaviors. The goals of therapy will be set by you according to what you want to work towards.
