I know how overwhelming life’s challenges can feel, and I approach each session with empathy and understanding. Whether you’re navigating personal struggles or relationship difficulties, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you feel truly heard.

This well-rounded approach helps clients address challenges, develop resilience, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives.
We will identify issues of concern, plan goals, and create those first steps toward change. I use several different techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution -Focused therapy while maintaining a strengths-based, person- centered outlook. I have a wide range of experience in the fieldworking with clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance misuse, self-esteem, and family/relationship issues.

I am a Brooklyn native and senior psychotherapist who is proficient in working with clients to broaden their awareness of themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. My primary goals are to: provide counseling through a sex positive and inclusive framework and provide a therapeutic space that is non-judgmental, authentic, respectful, and collaborative. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s degree in Mental Health & Counseling at Hofstra University. I have always been passionate about helping others and have been in the field of psychology for over 7 years. As a clinician, I work with adolescents and adults who have experienced or are living life with trauma, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, mood disturbances, and/or grief.
I offer therapy that is largely rooted in trauma-informed, person-centered, and evidence-based approaches. I specialize in Eye-movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based approach effective in treating: anger, emotional eating, procrastination/avoidance behaviors/indecision, relationship enrichment/healing, and stress management to name a few.
If there was a quote that personifies the essence of my clinical theory it is: “Therapy is not only about gaining insight, but also about making real changes in your life. Together, not only will we work towards developing more compassion and awareness, but also to bring practical solutions and coping skills into life.”With me, we can explore and discuss how past experiences, identity, and internalized systems may get in the way of your ability to live a life that feels purposeful, fulfilling, and mentally balanced.
Whenever you are ready, I am here to listen and create space for all your emotions, the tolerable and intolerable ones!

To quote one of my favorite authors:
“If you are uncomfortable—in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused —you don’t have a problem, you have a life. Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.” – Glennon Doyle
I work to create a safe therapeutic environment to support you in honoring your past, living in the present, and imagining a more empowered future. I'm motivated to work with you on any current or long standingchallenge you’re experiencing at a pace you're comfortable with.
