I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with several years of experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, and major life transitions. My background includes both crisis work and long-term therapy, which allows me to support clients through intense moments while also helping them build sustainable change.

I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative, supportive space where you can be honest about what you’re going through without fear of judgment. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, help you better understand yourself, and work together to create meaningful progress in your life.

You don't have to have everything figured out to begin healing. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your values. I believe healing happens through a collaborative relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), polyvagal-informed interventions (PVT), mindfulness-based strategies, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client's unique needs.

I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University in New York City. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across community mental health, intensive outpatient treatment programs, Head Start consultation, and private practice. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns while helping clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful change.

As a former collegiate athlete, I have a special passion for working with athletes navigating performance pressure, injury recovery, confidence challenges, burnout, and the mental demands of competition. I understand the unique challenges of balancing athletics with everyday life and enjoy helping clients strengthen both their mental health and mental performance.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I'm committed to providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can heal, grow, and move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and purpose.
