In therapy, it's important for you to know that I'm here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—I’ll work with you to understand your experiences and help you move toward meaningful change. I value honesty, curiosity, and respect, and I’ll always meet you where you are emotionally and mentally. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin; we’ll navigate this process together at your pace.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience providing psychotherapy. I came to the field a bit later in life after exploring other pursuits as a young person in New York City, and I love this work. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, struggles with identity, and life transitions. I love helping individuals find meaningful, lasting relationships.
Life transitions can quietly (or not so quietly) stir up anxiety, sadness, or a feeling of being stuck. When those feelings linger, it can feel heavy and isolating. You don't have to carry that on your own.
A decision to begin therapy is not always easy, but it can be a decision that is life changing. Benefits of psychotherapy include greater self-awareness, decreased emotional distress, better problem solving skills, and healthier more fulfilling relationships. I ensure a safe space, and will build a trusting relationship that is open and nonjudgmental to work collaboratively with you on achieving your personal goals.
Whether you are returning to therapy, or beginning for the first time, sometimes taking the initial step to reach out can feel daunting. Feel free to email me with any questions or inquiries.
I also offer video/remote teletherapy sessions for those who need more flexible scheduling.
