Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with over four years of experience directly supporting individuals on their healing journeys, as well as a background in psychological research. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, with a strong focus on helping clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach to therapy

I take an integrative approach to therapy, blending somatic practices with evidence-based modalities (CBT, TF-CBT, DBT) to support mind-body awareness and long-term emotional resilience. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience—tailored to each clients needs and goals. Whether you're seeking support for trauma recovery, anxiety, or deepening your connection to your sense of self, I strive to create a compassionate, grounded space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to share your story. We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, identify your goals, and collaboratively develop a plan that feels aligned with your needs. I tailor my approach to each individual, with a strong focus on building trust and safety from the start.

Throughout our work together, you can expect to develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and tools for managing life stressors.
