About My Clients

Clients can expect to take away a feeling of empowerment and a deeper understanding of themselves. My goal is to help clients increase their self-esteem and self-awareness so that they can more easily connect with others. I find that many people have a hard time understanding why they do the the things that they do. Once clients are able to connect their behaviors or thoughts to a previous trauma or impactful moment in their life, then they can start the work of changing these negative behaviors

My Background and Approach

My philosophy is that positive relationships are the most important aspect to a healthy and fulfilling life. My greatest goal is to help others develop themselves so that they can more easily connect with others and reach a high level of satisfaction in their lives. I am an LCSW-C with a social work degree from New York University (NYU). I practice as a strength-based clinician, specializing in the areas of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and addiction. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT) to help clients understand their internal processes better. Together we can actualize your full potential, no matter your age, race, religion, or gender affiliation. Creating a healthy and safe environment is most important to have a positive therapeutic experience. I will work with you to tailor fit our sessions to help you achieve all of your goals and create more fulfillment in your life.
