Starting therapy is a big step, but it doesn’t have to be a scary one. I believe that healing happens best when you feel truly seen, not just analyzed. My goal is to offer a space that feels less like a doctor's office and more like a safe harbor—a place where you can drop the mask, speak your truth, and finally feel understood. I am a Clinical Social Worker (MSW) trained at Hunter College, and I specialize in helping people navigate the heavy stuff: anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. Whether you are feeling stuck in old patterns or overwhelmed by new challenges, I am here to help you find your footing. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. We will work together to build a strong relationship based on trust, not just clinical checklists. Using evidence-based techniques, we will explore your thoughts and emotions openly to find practical coping strategies that actually fit your life. We aren't just trying to "manage" symptoms; we are working to help you build resilience and connect with your authentic self. Whether you want to overcome a specific hurdle or just feel more grounded in your daily life, I am here to support you every step of the way.
