I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, panic, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Whether you've been feeling overwhelmed for years or recently found yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, we'll work together to understand what's keeping the cycle going and build practical skills to help you move forward.

As a licensed clinical social worker with experience in university mental health, I've supported adults facing academic, career, and personal challenges. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical, giving you a place to feel understood while also helping you develop skills you can use in everyday life.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in education, and I’ve been practicing for 12 years. My experience spans a wide range of communities and needs, including individuals with developmental disabilities, people navigating substance use challenges, and clients from culturally diverse backgrounds.

My clinical foundation is rooted in behavior modification and cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use these approaches to help clients understand patterns, build new skills, and create meaningful change.

I like to begin by learning about each client’s hopes, dreams, and vision for their life. I believe that real transformation starts with discovering a sense of happiness and alignment within yourself—once that inner foundation is in place, everything else begins to come together.
