I love my job! I have supported children and families for over 30 years using a strengths based and trauma based model.

Are you struggling to find the motivation to meet your goals? Is it difficult to find joy in life? You do not have to face these challenges on your own. My mission is to help you rediscover your inner strength and reclaim control over your life.

As your therapist I will work alongside you to help you learn to identify your emotions, learn healthy ways to express yourself, and healthy and effective ways of communicating with others. Together we will also identify your strengths as well as possible unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns and how they relate to your everyday experiences and emotions.

I went to Stony Brook University for my Masters in Social Work and my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Adelphi University. I have done two post graduate certification programs. One in substance use and another in trauma informed care.

I believe that it is important for every client to understand their story deeper and what their values, beliefs, and core language is like and how impacts there well-being. I believe in the mind-body connection.

Life can bring storms, transitions, and moments when the way forward feels uncertain. You may feel weighed down by old wounds, or by the pressure of always being the one others rely on.

As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
