As a psychologist with over 20 years' experience, I work with people who are struggling with diverse challenges, from temporarily overwhelming stressors to life-altering losses or burdens. Complicated or unsatisfactory relationships, difficult life transitions, health concerns, and significant losses are common problems that, if left unresolved, can lead to depression, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy, helplessness, or hopelessness. My goal is to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore your concerns. I offer insight, support, and guidance, while helping you develop strategies to navigate life's challenges and cope effectively with the difficulties you are facing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who was trained at Columbia University, New York City, and the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health, New York City.

I use a variety of treatment modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I am a Humanist in terms of my philosophy. I see life as a journey. Therapy can make that journey more fulfilling.

Waitlist for new clients
Prior to private practice, I worked in a variety of community-based jobs including in-home family therapy, crisis response, domestic violence, and adolescents interfacing with the criminal justice system. Now I enjoy working mainly with young adults and adolescents, affirming their life experience and re-imagining what a full life looks like. I'm here for the clients who find themselves operating outside of societal norms and learning how to build their own path. My clinical lens is rooted in harm-reduction, person-in-environment and trauma-informed approaches.

None of us go through life without experiencing changes or life transitions. We struggle with depression and fight off our anxiety. We go through our day on autopilot, lacking energy, and feeling hopeless. We isolate ourselves from friends and family, we feel misunderstood, or we temporarily escape reality & lessen our pain with alcohol, drugs, food, etc. Resisting change causes us pain and creates additional stress and anxiety in our lives. Acceptance and embracing change begins the healing. If we approach transitions with curiosity rather than fear, and intention rather than reluctance, we can respond to change and foster growth.

I've practiced in mental health for more than 15 years and I still have the same passion I did when I started. I trust that part of the reason that I remain committed to this work is because I practice what I preach. I constantly have to remind myself that I can do hard things and I wake up every day manifesting my purpose. The most rewarding part of my job is watching you grow into the person you've set out to be. I pride myself on true social work values; which include integrity, ethical practices, and quality services. I have specialized certification and training in trauma and a long work history in family systems therapy.

The tricky thing about healing is that it requires us to go to the places in ourselves that we fear the most. If we want peace, we have to walk towards the parts of us that feel anxiety and turmoil. If we want to feel worthy, we have to walk towards the parts of ourselves that feel UN-worthy. In our work together, you will fundamentally transform the quality of your life (and your relationships!) by learning to build your reality from a place of conscious awareness, rather than a place of pain/trauma. You will release the unprocessed wounds stored in your nervous system, making space for a happy, free, and dare I say, magical life!

The trauma of addiction touches all of us in one way or another. Recognizing how addiction impacts you physically, mentally, and spiritually can be an awesome awakening to an entirely new way of life. Often individuals suffer from the consequences of making high risk decisions that cause crisis for themselves and their families. Dealing with these consequences alone may increase the desire to continue substances and more negative consequences. Allow me shed light on how to end this vicious cycle. I am a dedicated and compassionate clinician that is committed to the well being of my clients and their families.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult life experiences and transitions, interpersonal and identity issues, grief and loss, and occupational performance. For many people, the idea of reaching out for help takes a lot of courage. It takes strength and trust to share personal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a new person. Clients have given me feedback that my style — authentic, honest, accepting, informal, and good-humored — helps to reduce the nervousness they feel when entering counseling, and builds the trust needed for our therapy.

Are you experiencing distress and brokenness in your life? Carrying this heaviness can feel overwhelming and can overtake moments of hope and joy. We all desperately desire to be alleviated from the pain and suffering we experience. When dealing with multiple life challenges it can feel at times impossible to take one step forward. Despite our circumstances, we all have the ability to move forward one step at a time. To alleviate our distress, it might require leaning more into ourselves with the help of a therapist. I want to provide a safe haven for you to come as you are; meeting you with trust, acceptance, and empathy.
