I'm a Social Worker with almost a decade of experience. It is an honor to be able to work with people every day and hear their stories, their pains, their troubles, as well as their strengths and successes. Humor, creativity, and reflection are the cornerstones to my work with clients.

I know change is possible, I've seen this with countless clients and can guide you in reaching your goals. I have over 10 years experience helping individuals reach their mental health goals and improve their relationships. If you're struggling with your partner or struggling yourself, there is hope. In resolving anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma or difficult family dynamics you can get to a healthy and happy place once again. My commitment to our work is that it may be challenging, but you won't have to face it alone.

Our thoughts come from our emotions which are created by our experiences and influences in our lives. These thoughts affect our beliefs, perceptions and actions. They have become ingrained in us appearing to be natural or instinctual.

My hope is through our therapeutic relationship we discover the positive and negative patterns in your life, learning techniques and resolutions which will allow you to be the architect of your future.

I aspire to create a safe, trusting, and non-judgmental environment that will allow you to explore and gain greater knowledge of yourself and your relationships. Through our therapeutic relationship we will identify the positive and negative patterns in your life, empowering you to make the necessary changes to meet your goals, both short and long term. I assist you in gaining insight and perspective so that new ideas and feelings can emerge and create desired changes.

Finding the right therapist is very personal to each individual thus it can be a daunting process. However, I aim to offer relief, support, humor, and a collaborative therapy approach. I work with individuals and couples in New York City, providing in-person sessions with remote options. As a therapist, my role is to guide you towards personal growth and self-exploration without judgement. Each individual is capable of bringing about the changes they desire, in therapy I aim to help you uncover that potential and channel it towards a path that leads to a more fulfilling life.

Change is inevitable. It doesn't matter if you are going through a marriage or a divorce, employment, new addition to a family, illness, or a sudden death of a loved one - the energy it takes to adapt to new circumstances is highly stressful. This stress can create havoc with your body and life goals. Through many years of listening, I have grown to understand the complexity and depth of the impact of these changes on an individual. The way that I can best help you is to: label the change; replace outdated habits with more effective ones; and to help you see how you get in your own way from achieving your life goals.
