I create a nonjudgmental, safe space for my patients to explore their challenges. I approach my work with you through a trauma-focused lens and acknowledge how emotion is central to human experience. I draw from relational and psychodynamic approaches, focusing on how our past pains can influence our present patterns and cycles. Through deep listening, I am able to guide you through your own journey of self-awareness and reflection. I completed my education in Mental Health Counseling at the University at Albany, where I also served as a peer assistant and training instructor for a mental health and crisis hotline.

Do you feel there’s something more for you in the world, but don’t know what it is or how to get to it? Do emotional difficulties like anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms make this seem impossible? My mission as a therapist is to build an authentic, trusting relationship where you’ll feel safe to explore who you are and what you want. Feeling secure, heard, and accepted is the starting point for working through any struggles holding you back. I work most often with college students, young professionals, and teens/pre-teens, on issues like anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and depression. I also find it rewarding to work with couples.

I am passionate about helping people achieve their goals - from identifying barriers and working through them to empowering clients to take more action over what's in their control. This passion is ultimately what led me to a career change into clinical social work after 8 years working in the software/tech industry. I returned to graduate school in 2017 and received my master's in social work from Columbia University.

Living as an ADHD or Autistic adult can be frustrating and overwhelming. You might feel out of step with the world or misunderstood. Why don't people just say what they mean? Why can't people respect your process just because it's different? Why can't you feel more at peace with your body, mind, and senses? Our minds are colorful and complex, yet we struggle in a world not tailored to our unique patterns. Adapting and masking our true selves to fit in can be exhausting. The constant need to adapt, the feeling of being misunderstood, and the search for a space where you can be your true self is a path you need not walk alone.
