Most of us haven’t made it through life without a few bruises. Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves along the way, shaped by what we’ve been through and the weight of those experiences.
That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It means you adapted. Sometimes beautifully. Sometimes painfully. Often both.
Therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and gently begin untangling what you’ve been carrying. Together, we can explore your story with compassion, reconnect with who you are beneath old patterns, and move toward a way of living that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentic.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience supporting children, families, and caregivers. I earned my degree from Fordham University in 2016 and have worked extensively in the early intervention field. I bring a compassionate, practical, and family-centered perspective to my work, with an understanding of the unique challenges that can arise across different stages of life and parenting.
