That heaviness you feel in your chest? The constant tension in your shoulders, the mental fog, the exhaustion that doesn’t go away with sleep—none of it is something you just have to power through. The version of you who feels overstressed, over-touch, and overwhelmed doesn’t just need to survive another day—you deserve to thrive. I have a passion for working with women experiencing grief, anxiety & burnout—whether from loss or the demands of parenting, career, or caregiving and seek to provide a supportive environment for healing both past and present wounds. Together we will find a path forward to build resilience and thrive.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, in private practice in MD, NJ and NY specializing in individual and family counseling. My eclectic background allows me to tailor the treatment to your individual goals and give your practical support from day 1.
When reaching out, you can expect to be met with unconditional support and acknowledgement of how hard being vulnerable can be. I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of your journey.

My approach integrates mind-body awareness, trauma-informed care, and practical coping tools to help reduce overwhelm and foster deeper insight. As you begin to understand the connections between your past experiences and current stress, you'll develop greater compassion for yourself and increased clarity in your role as a parent, caregiver or partner.
