About My Clients

I currently specialize in helping teens, college-age students, and adults address challenges that are negatively impacting their wellness so they can work toward achieving their personal and professional goals. I am passionate about helping people with depressive disorders, generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress, difficult life transitions and stressors, interpersonal conflicts, and low self-esteem.

My Background and Approach

In our work you are not alone as you navigate the world or in the work of building the life you want. As a client-centered therapist trained in a relational psychodynamic approach, I use long-term clinical models as well as short-term, evidence-based practices to support your process of discovering what is getting in your way, and to help you develop the skills, mindset, and insight you need to move forward. My style is active, authentic, and collaborative. I work with emotional openness to build a personal and reciprocal connection with clients. We will work together in a safe, empowering, and empathetic environment to explore challenges and promote overall wellness. I am also experienced with the challenges of academic life and eager to assist students working through related concerns. I received my Masters of Social Work from New York University after completing a Master’s Degree from Stanford University and BA from Mills College.
