I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in treating clients who suffer from anxiety and depression, primarily brought on by daily life events. Many people just need someone to listen to them who isn’t going to judge them. Clients need that safe space with that support. They need a place to be transparent and to be able to discuss things they aren’t ordinarily comfortable discussing.

As life moves forward with its many demands of time and energy, therapy is a place to slow down and reconnect with who you are and where you are right now. Together we can explore your experience both internally and externally, and process any hardships which may disrupt your sense of peace and ability to move towards the person and life you wish to embody. Words and emotions can carry deep meanings, so as a therapist, my priority is not only to listen, but to truly hear you. In that, I aim to support your path of discovering and becoming more aligned with what fulfills you most in your life.

I believe life experiences are the greatest teacher. We go through many life challenges, difficulties, heartaches, but we should never forget the smiles, laughter, joy that come before or after those challenges. I am more a half glass full kind of person but I am pragmatic. I believe that the hard times can be really hard and if we need to cry, we should cry, be angry, be hurt, allow all the emotions to occur and feel them. The trick is to come out of those emotions with a new perspective so that we can grow and find our true self.

The happiness that you truly want and deserve is actually within your control! Whether it's getting rid of your fears, understanding why you feel sad, finally having that healthy relationship you have been yearning for, reducing stress, finding balance, or finally being able to answer the question "what will make me happy?".

People worry every day. Some worriers "worry all their lives." Excessive, non-productive WORRY may lead to symptoms seen in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), irritability and depression.

I will help you understand your worrying behavior, learn about how to live with uncertainty and consider strategies and new behaviors you have not yet thought about. I pride myself in my ability to develop good working relationships with my clients, a crucial part of therapy.
