I am a psychotherapist practicing in NYC, working with individuals and couples. As a clinical social worker, I am trained with a holistic perspective towards mental health, which means we will take into account all aspects of who you are. This includes your strengths, traumas, and your life experiences in the midst of life's challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and draws from relational psychodynamic psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I earned my Masters in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College in NYC, where I specialized in clinical practice. Prior to private practice, I was a psychotherapist at a group practice based in NYC, and a social worker in the Victim Services Unit at the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

Together, we will explore what you may be experiencing now, what may have happened in the past, and where you’d like to see yourself in the future. You are the leader in this journey, and I am here to bear witness to your experience.

If you are interested in joining, please reach out to me and we will schedule a brief phone call to discuss group participation and scheduling.
