Virtual • New York


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes real change comes from feeling both supported and gently challenged. I'm warm and direct — I'll meet you where you are, but I won't let you stay stuck. I'm also passionate about working with first responders and law enforcement, and I bring a genuine understanding of the culture and pressures that come with those roles. Outside the office, you'll find me hiking or camping — I try to practice what I preach when it comes to finding balance.
