About My Clients

I work with clients who are going through uniquely challenging moments and are in need of additional support, while also looking to make some significant changes to their lives. No matter how challenging your experiences, not only can you begin to heal from them, but you can also turn painful or traumatic experiences into a spaces of self-compassion, power, and greater self-acceptance.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and completed my degree at Columbia University, with a focus on clinical social work and international social welfare. I have spent a decade working in the mental health field - from domestic violence programs, clinics, and hospitals, to international organizations in Florida, New York, and internationally. My training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I also incorporate elements of Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing. I build on a combination of these approaches and others depending on your needs and goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Ultimately, I believe that the therapeutic alliance is the most important piece of having an impactful and life-changing therapy experience. Trust with your therapist is an essential piece of allowing you to open up and explore the challenges that bring you to therapy in the first place.
