Hey there! I'm an LCSW and psychotherapist with over 4 years of experience. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ teens and adults and people living with depression, anxiety, and the impact of trauma. I create a space where your full self is welcome—your identity, culture, feelings, and questions.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC- NY & WA), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC -CT), and and a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor – Master Level (CASAC – M) with 13 years of experience. I specialize in substance use, anger management, depression, anxiety, and behavior issues.

My approach blends psychodynamic therapy — exploring how our past shapes who we are — with cognitive behavioral techniques that help you shift patterns and take back control of your thoughts and choices. I meet clients where they are, offering a space of respect, understanding, and real conversation.

If you’re ready to start doing the work — to heal, to grow, and to reclaim your power — I’d be honored to walk beside you.

“I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also much more than that. So are we all.” — James Baldwin

I have been working in the field of social work/ counseling for three decades. I am approachable, non-judgmental and believe that everyone has something special about them. At times life's challenges cloud our ability to believe this and darken our outlook on life and ourselves. I enjoy helping my clients see their worth and live a happier life. I also grew up with a sister with significant developmental delays and autism. My childhood definitely cultivated my desire to work in this field, while also giving me first hand experience about the challenges of being a sibling to a brother or sister with special needs. I have worked with many children and teens who may be struggling with a similar family dynamic.

I specialize in holistic and medication free approach to psychotherapy using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help minimize and relieve symptoms of anxiety, chronic insomnia, grief, family issues, stress related to work.

Life can be complicated at times, and change can feel overwhelming—leaving you feeling stuck, frustrated, or discouraged. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to support and guide you as we work toward creating a more balanced, fulfilling life. Together, we will explore negative thoughts and behaviors to identify what may be holding you back. I believe the answers are already within you—together, we’ll work to uncover them and develop practical ways to help you move forward with greater clarity, purpose and confidence.

I’m most drawn to working with people who are seeking steadiness, understanding, and practical tools—whether it’s a parent overwhelmed by a child’s big emotions, a child or teen navigating anxiety or behavior challenges, or an adult longing for more balance and self-regulation. They want to feel grounded, connected, and confident. Their goals are to better understand themselves or their child, strengthen relationships, and build meaningful skills that support healing, growth, and thriving.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with almost 19 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My style is practical and solution-focused, empowering clients to take small, actionable steps toward meaningful personal growth.
