I believe strongly in the resilience of people, and that a healthy therapeutic relationship can promote trust, healing, and personal growth. I believe that successful therapy is predicated on having a strong therapeutic alliance; the connection and collaborative relationship between the client and therapist. Taking a strength-based perspective, I listen deeply and reflectively to sustain a non-judgmental and safe environment. I am passionate about helping clients fully process past experiences and thrive in relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.

I am a graduate of NYU in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling, and I enjoy being in a career that is service-oriented. Working predominantly with couples, families, and pediatrics, I have extensive experience getting to know and understand the unique identifiers each person holds, and how that impacts the therapeutic process. While I can work with any client, I specialize in family therapy, couples counseling, parenting, sex therapy, women’s issues & pregnancy, religious identity, vocational counseling, neurodiversity, eating disorders, PTSD, trauma, and OCD.

I work with people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities and allies. My work is rooted in gender-affirming therapy for those seeking exploration and support around their gender identities. I also work with those who are living with addiction and recovery. I work with clients who live, work and play under a cloak of secrecy; the outside world sees them as goal-driven professionals who have stable relationships and a host of family and friends. My clients hide their struggles with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem, and Substance Use. My clients want to live and love authentically.
