I’m a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults, couples, and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I’ve trained across schools, community mental health, and outpatient settings, and I bring a grounded, real-world perspective into the therapy space. My work is culturally responsive and shaped by a strong commitment to equity, identity, and whole-person care. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to grow.

Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life.

I am a licensed certified social worker with 30 plus years experience and I love my job. I enjoy helping clients find their strengths and guide them to their goals. Together we can find the tools to allow you to gain your full potential. I have a calm presence which allows me to connect with my clients.

Life can be challenging, and at times it may feel difficult to navigate the stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain that come with it. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore life's challenges from a new perspective.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationship concerns. I am particularly passionate about serving historically under served communities while providing culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique experiences, values, and identity.

In today’s fast-paced and stress-filled world, it is a privilege to work with individuals who are ready to take meaningful steps toward improving their mental health. Whether you have a clear vision of the changes you’d like to make or need guidance in setting those goals, we can collaborate to create a plan tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll start by exploring the most significant aspects of your life, including your personal history and key relationships, to build a comprehensive understanding of who you are. Recognizing that every individual is unique, I strive to provide treatment that is fully personalized.

I received my BA in Psychology from LIU CW Post Campus (2004) and my MSW from Fordham Graduate School of Social Service (2013). I have 17 years of experience in the child welfare system, seven years of clinical practice, five years of practicum instruction and two years as an adjunct professor for social work education. .

I use a variety of treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT), Gestalt-therapy, trauma-based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy,

Since graduating from the University at Albany in 2002, I’ve worked in human services and social work. Returning to graduate school, I discovered my passion for clinical social work. For me, the most fulfilling part is building meaningful connections and supporting others on their journey of healing and self-discovery.

I’m a warm, personable, and affirming therapist who welcomes people from all walks of life. I use my own intersectionality to better empathize with and understand the diverse experiences clients bring into the room. I’m collaborative and engaged—offering support while also gently challenging you when it can help you grow. My goal is to create a safe, empowering space where you feel understood, respected, and actively supported on your path forward.

I hold a PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certified) credential through Postpartum Support International, which reflects specialized training in the emotional and psychological experiences surrounding fertility, pregnancy, birth, loss, and early parenthood—areas that many therapists haven’t had the opportunity to focus on in depth. For many of the clients I work with, that level of specificity really matters.

I’m also trained in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, which offers a practical, research-informed framework for navigating conflict, disconnection, and the strain that reproductive challenges can place on a relationship. I bring six years of experience to this particular work, along with a warm, creative, and collaborative approach.

I’m affirming of all identities and family structures, and I strive to create an inclusive space where LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples feel fully welcomed and supported. At the core of my work is the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is where meaningful change happens, so I’m intentional about building a connection that feels genuine, safe, and allows you to show up as your full self.

I also work with those experiencing relationship challenges, family conflict, grief, parenting-related stress, anxiety, and depression.
