Hello and welcome! I'm glad you're here!

My name is Jennifer. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from Columbia University School of Social Work, and I’ve been supporting clients since 2015. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with youth, families, and caregivers in the New York City school system, helping them navigate a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Working in schools has really shaped how I approach therapy. It’s taught me how to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams and support clients across different systems. It’s also given me the time and space to truly get to know each person and adjust treatment along the way, so we can find what actually works best for you and not just what looks good on paper.

On a personal note, I’m the oldest of three and a parent, so I understand how heavy expectations can feel whether they come from family, society, relationships, or from within. I bring that understanding into my work, meeting you with empathy, honesty, and a genuine respect for what you’re carrying.
