I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY and FL. I specialize in helping women navigate unresolved trauma, anxiety, relationship and dating challenges, parenting struggles, body image, low self-esteem, depression, lack of confidence and other life stressors. I work with clients to figure out what’s getting in the way of living a fulfilled life free from self-doubt, self-criticism, shame, guilt and the worries that so commonly impact us all. Therapy with me will involve identifying negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that are keeping a person stuck in their emotions, worry or certain behaviors.

There are so many messages that you’ve probably lived with growing up that don’t work for you anymore. Messages that make it hard to be present, to get things done, or make you feel like you're in "survival mode". Maybe you’re expected to move on from some hard times – or hard losses. Or maybe you’ve always had to be the “Perfect One”, the “Black Sheep” or the “Silent One” in your family. But there’s so much more to you than your struggles or the labels that have been placed on you. You don't have to live life feeling overwhelmed with negative thoughts, numbness, or expectations every day. You deserve to live authentically.
