Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’ve always been drawn to helping others and knew early on that I wanted to become a therapist. I enjoy listening and feel inspired by people who are motivated to grow and improve their lives. My experience includes case management, leading groups in an inpatient mental health setting, and several years providing one-on-one therapy in both school and clinical settings. These roles have given me a broad perspective on the challenges people face. My true passion is working one-on-one with individuals, supporting their growth and helping them create meaningful and lasting change. I’ve trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic approaches, and work related to relationships and parenting.

Hello,

It's a pleasure to meet you.

As a social worker I believe prioritizing mental health is key to an individual's ability to live a productive life. We all need support at some point in our lives, so thank you for taking the first step on the road to empowerment. I have provided individual and group therapy to adults for the past eight years.

Real support for real life, wherever you are in your journey.

As an LCSW with more than a decade of experience, I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life's inevitable turning points. Outside the office, my life is full with my small children and energetic puppy. I share that because I understand, firsthand, how full and unpredictable life can feel, and how hard it can be to carve out space just for you. That's exactly what our time together is for.
