I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I have worked in various settings and capacities helping individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, medical illness, addictions, career concerns, and relationship challenges. In my work I find it useful to draw on a variety of clinical perspectives as each client brings to the process a unique set of needs, strengths, and goals. I love helping clients get unstuck from the patterns they live and relive over and over, whether it be in their jobs, families, relationships, or even inside their own heads.
I am passionate about offering a non-judgmental, open, and empathic environment so that clients feel safe in exploring their concerns. My approach is collaborative, interactive, and strength-based. I work from a belief that my role is not to “fix” clients but to support them in creating shifts in their lives from a place of choice and awareness.
I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from NYU Silver School of Social Work. I also have a wide range of interests that influence who I am as clinician, including mindfulness meditation, social justice, and the arts.
