I am a native New Yorker with over 23 yrs experience in health & human services, working with people from various backgrounds, ethnicities, and age groups. Deciding what to do about: a troubled child, aging/ailing loved one, workplace challenges, relationship issues, or personal struggles can be draining, complicated, and discouraging.

One thing is sure, a healthy mindset is the foundation for strong relationships and successful living. I am eager to help you get to your best self!

Most people don’t come to therapy because life is easy—they come because something hurts. Trauma can leave deep imprints—on the body, the mind, and the way we move through the world. My clients often feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, or disconnected from themselves and others. Some are navigating major transitions, healing from trauma, or trying to make sense of their relationships. Others simply want to feel better, live more authentically, and find clarity in the chaos.
