Intro

“Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” - Fred Rogers

As a therapist, I understand that often, the first step in your therapy journey — the act of reaching out — can be the hardest one to take. As a collaborative partner in your therapy, I’m here to work alongside you, recognizing that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to support you by creating a safe and welcoming space where you can unlock your inner strengths, and create meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will explore the depth and complexity of your individual story, and create a plan that empowers you to address challenges and achieve your therapeutic goals.

About Me

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who specializes in Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Strengths-Based Therapy. I earned my Bachelor’s in Arts from the Macaulay Honors Program at the City College of New York, and my Master’s of Social Work (MSW) from New York University. Throughout my experience, I have worked with individuals from across the lifespan (early childhood to older adults 65+), and am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. I understand that therapy is a deeply personal experience, and as there is no one-size-fits-all approach, I draw on a multidimensional perspective that honors your individual experience to help reach your goals.
