I believe healing begins in a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from Stony Brook University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York. I am EMDR Certified and integrate EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Exposure Response Therapy (ERP) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. I work with adolescents, and adults experiencing trauma, grief, addiction, major life transitions, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic or terminal illness, and caregiver stress. Many of my clients are navigating circumstances they never expected to face, and together we work toward healing, resilience, and reconnecting with what matters most.

In addition to my clinical work, I am the founder and Clinical Director of a private practice, where I supervise and mentor a diverse team of psychotherapists. My background also includes years of experience in education, community programming, and psychological research, which has shaped my sensitivity to the ways culture, family systems, identity, achievement, and environment impact emotional wellbeing.
