Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping children, teens, couples, and families find healing and strength in the face of hardships and challenges that could destabilize any of us. I am easy-going, open-minded, and very direct and intentional with my help and support. I would happily accept the privilege of getting to know you and discovering positive ways forward, together. I have a diverse cultural and ethnic background and have always related well to others, enjoying more than anything else to be in service to anyone who needs a hand during a hard time. I am hopeful and positive, and I believe we can all change our circumstances with a little guidance.

I received my masters in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University in 2021. Since this time I have worked with a variety of different clients gaining experience with a plethora of mental health struggles and diverse populations. I have experience in individual counseling, family therapy and facilitating various groups. I am also intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) through Columbia behavioral health and like to provide an eclectic approach when working with clients.

If you are struggling with unresolved trauma, grief or loss, if you are trying to cope with depression or anxiety, if you and your partner have forgotten your love language, reach out. As a compassionate listener I provide a judgment free, supportive environment. I am now offering teletherapy so that you can receive support in the comfort of your chosen venue at flexible times. I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with extensive clinical experience in hospitals, clinics and private practice settings.

Offering online treatment removes the stress of missing work or school. I offer individual, couples, family, children and adolescents treatment. I bring a wealth of experience in family system work and trauma-focused CBT. The goal of my practice is to remove the stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment and to provide a supportive environment to help you remove barriers so that you can live your fullest, best life.
