Great to meet you!

With over 26 years of experience as Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer a warn, compassionate, and collaborative space for adults of all genders navigating the weight of anxiety, depression, relationships struggles, and substance use. I am licensed in New York and also authorized to provide telehealth in Florida. I genuinely love this work- It's a privilege to support people as they grow, heal, and reclaim their sense of self.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is what I call a “pot” as I borrow from various evidenced-based practices to create a unique working plan tailored to your needs, is encouraging, strengths-based, and deeply respectful of your autonomy. I listen closely, celebrate progress and help you stay connected to your goals-whether that means building emotional insight, developing coping skills or making meaningful changes in your life. You don't have to go through it alone- and you don't have to have it all figured out to begin.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you can expect to be met with compassion, respect, and a deep commitment to your growth. We'll work together to explore what's holding you back, make sense of overwhelming emotions and identify patterns that no longer serve you. Over time, you will build tools to manage stress, strengthen your sense of self, improve relationships, and move toward changes you want to see. You will be supported in setting your own goals, honoring your space, and reconnecting with your resilience. Therapy isn't about fixing you- it's about helping you feel more empowered, grounded, and in control of your life.
