My counseling experiences include managing symptoms of anxiety and depression, family conflict, anger management, life transitions, challenges with body image, self-esteem, improving communication skills, and challenges with parenting.
Sometimes life can be....overwhelming, to say the least. If you are looking for assistance in navigating through some of life's obstacles and are ready to unveil the best version of yourself, then you've come to the right place. I don't have an "ideal" client as everyone comes from different walks of life, but someone who is open-minded and willing to challenge themselves along this journey to positive mental health will undoubtedly have the best outcomes through our work together.

I have an innovative and eclectic approach that is based on the individual, couple, or family.
Ever feel like you’re stuck circling the same territory over and over? You may feel stagnated, simply standing still while life seems to be passing you by. But you were created to grow… Somewhere along the way, you’ve lost your sense of self. Perhaps you’re lacking purpose, looking to discover your creativity, or connect with your tribe of support. The reality of where you are has you anxious, fearful, hurt, or simply just lost. Deep down inside you believe there’s got to be more and you’re on a journey to find it.

I received my Master of Social Work from Hunter College and have completed a post-graduate certificate in Sex Therapy with Ackerman Institute for the Family.
My approach to therapy focuses on self-acceptance and discovering your authenticity. I imbue my work with humor and connection and draw from humanistic therapy to guide our sessions. Therapy with me is not "one size fits all" therefore you are just as important to the work as the therapy itself. I will help you to step into your authentic self.

I work with individuals, couples, and adult family members.
I believe that connection—to others, to community, to nature, to one’s body and inner world—serves as a foundation for well-being and meaning in life. Past experiences, inner conflicts, and the demands of daily life and relationships often reduce our capacity to form enduring connections. My work as your therapist is to learn about the ecology of your life and collaborate with you to deepen connections that will help you align your life with your values. I bring a curious and non-judgmental presence to the therapy process. I will offer new perspectives and emotional experiences to foster useful change in your life.

Advocating for yourself in all ways is the most important thing you can do for yourself. My goal is to have patients leave feeling more empowered, confident, and insightful.
