There is something special in realizing the only expert on you is… you – and that’s what we’ll explore together.
Therapy is about becoming an active participant in your ability to accept who you are, develop meaningful insights, and recognize your own power in making changes you seek. It is the one place where you can start moving beyond the feeling of being “stuck” or “lost.” It offers a place where you can make the transformations you seek and start answering the big questions of “Who am I?” and “What do I want to do with my life?” At the heart of it, therapy can help you change and develop a radical acceptance of yourself, improving your overall well-being.

I’ve worked with populations across different life stages and communities, but have found particular meaning in working with LGBTQ identified individuals, individuals suffering from addiction, couples, and BIPOC communities.
I believe in taking a holistic approach in my work and start from something we all have in common: the human experience. My aim is to offer a mindful, nonjudgmental space where you can reflect on how you want to show up for yourself and for others. I tend to work beyond diagnoses, but draw upon my experience working within relational psychotherapy, CBT, Internal Family Systems, and psychodynamic modalities. I value my client’s autonomy and work to explore their own meaning, power, and possibility within their lives.
Several years ago, I put aside my marketing job and began volunteering for The Trevor Project while taking classes at NYU where I learned about the systemic challenges facing communities and individuals in our country. I then graduated from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College with Honors where I specialized in Mental Health. Since then, I have spent the majority of my career helping people improve their well-being through our established therapeutic relationship.
