I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and couples, as well as adolescents and families. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, substance use concerns, and other emotional and behavioral challenges. I also provide sex therapy and have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you are struggling individually or working through challenges in a relationship, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what is happening, and begin making meaningful changes.

I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University and have a diverse clinical background that extends beyond traditional outpatient therapy. Before focusing on psychotherapy, I spent many years working as a medical social worker and care coordinator in hospital and community health settings. During that time, I supported individuals and families navigating medical and behavioral health concerns, chronic illness, substance use, domestic violence, psychiatric crises, and other difficult life circumstances.

These experiences have shaped the way I practice today. I understand that emotional well-being is often connected to relationships, physical health, family dynamics, work, identity, sexuality, and the practical pressures of everyday life. Rather than looking at a concern in isolation, I try to understand the larger context of what you are experiencing and how the different parts of your life may be affecting one another.

I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.

My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

Are you struggling with irritability, a depressed mood, overwhelming anxiety, or concerns about how others perceive you? Do you wish you could move through life without constantly replaying worried thoughts in your mind? Perhaps you experience sadness, guilt, or shame, or find yourself becoming impatient with your loved ones or the world around you. Carl Jung once said, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” Are you ready to explore new ways of living and develop a deeper understanding of yourself?
