I was born and raised in NYC, which lends itself to creating a rich sense of culture and expression. I enjoy Broadway shows, plays, knitting, animals and family. Daily mindfulness practices allow for clearer thinking and rationalization of an often chaotic world. I am in my 4th year of social work practice, but have been working alongside social service workers since I began volunteering at the age of 11. I worked in numerous fields of mental health that provided me with diverse experiences I utilize to be of best service to all people.

The most integral aspect of counseling is coming from a person centered, peer and trauma informed focus that is collaborative and culturally sensitive, meaning, providing you with the autonomy and agency to decide what coping skills, care, and approach is best suited for you. Working as a team is imperative in order for each session to feel like a conversation and not something purely clinical. Providing you with resources you need and desire, along with actively listening, being empathic, and present, creates the ideal atmosphere for healing. It is my honor and privilege to be of assistance to you.

There are difficult topics you want to discuss with your partner but don’t know how. In fact, after tonight's fight, you're sitting in a separate room stewing about how they misunderstood and invalidated everything you said. It’s been difficult to set boundaries with one another. Past traumas have arisen and the memory of them is affecting your intimacy. Communication between the two of you has been a constant struggle. Even simple conversations are becoming strained battles. You long to find a way to resolve these things, but fear that the gap between you and your partner is growing larger by the day.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
