Finding the right therapist is like uncovering a new pair of comfy socks. Once you find the right therapist, life gets better! For 18 years, I've been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in stress/anger management, navigating relationships, and healing trauma.

My approach focuses on helping you use awareness so you can feel more in control. It's not uncommon to have periods when our emotions feel overwhelming or our thoughts won't slow down and then we feel stuck. I help people learn strategies to reduce in-the-moment intensity and to become curious about these patterns of feelings and thoughts. Doing this will allow you to understand them more. Oftentimes these patterns are attempts to try and soothe something or help us in some way. By understanding them, we can develop other methods to meet those same needs as you move forward in your journey toward healing.

My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one common theme throughout is a need for self-care and self-love. My job is to facilitate self-care and coping in a way that brings a client contentment and joy. I want clients to look forward to their sessions with me as a time to attend to their own emotional needs, learn, grow, and develop. They want a safe space with unconditional support to work through and - importantly - find feasible solutions to their unique problems. I am known for my blend of personalized, positive/strengths-based, creative, and feasible cognitive behavior therapies. (Check out my photos!)

I am a Nationally Certified Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY specializing in trauma, chronic illness, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I utilize both scientific-based and holistic approaches in my therapeutic work to be both integrative and individualistic with each client. My personal and professional experience has given me a deep understanding of what it means to lose control and how to help you navigate that challenging feeling. I know what it is like to not be able to do certain things and feel different from everyone else in the room. This has enabled me to connect and empathize with those who are often marginalized.

Meaningful positive change is possible, and it starts with taking the risk to do something different. That is brave work, and I am here to support people in doing it. I believe it's possible to relate to any experience in a way that allows for peace and growth. That doesn't mean it is easy. Life can be difficult, and harder to navigate if we've not been able to address past adversity and missing pieces. Through experience, I've found self-compassion to be key in healing and growth. It can be cultivated. My approach is collaborative, direct, and supportive. I welcome people as they are, and am open to learning from my clients.
