In my clinical practice, it has been my joy to work with people - authentically, with genuine intent, and through compassionate connection. Throughout my career I have functioned as a staff, a supervisor, a therapist, and administrator in multiple settings and utilize everything I have learned to inform my work. I have always found grounding in my core principles of care, and have found purpose in working with individuals and families who are open for growth. I welcome the opportunity to work with all types of people - and always hold space for who they are seeking to become, not who they have felt the need to be. My most passionate work is with adolescents, individuals seeking deep healing or deep rest, those who are approaching mid-life or confronting parenthood, and families. I would welcome the opportunity to connect with anyone who is seeking transformative growth, and a space for healing. In my current work I find myself focusing most often on attachment, impacts of trauma particularly sexual trauma or early childhood experiences, behavioral needs based in emotional disabilities, sexuality and self, and family systems. Throughout my career I have demonstrated an ability to learn new therapeutic skills, and consistently seek professional growth. I look forward to connecting!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12yrs of social work experience and 5 years of clinical experience, specializing in trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and complex life experiences. My approach is culturally responsive, trauma-informed, person-centered and integrative. I am warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and supported. Some modalities that I specialize in are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Positive Psychology. However, I am well rounded to address a variety of needs and integrating different approaches to address client concerns. I focus on helping clients build self-awareness, process past experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping, relating, and moving forward. In our first sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where we explore what brings you to therapy, clarify your goals, and begin building a path toward growth at a pace that feels right for you. I’m known for creating a grounded, supportive space where clients feel seen and understood, while also being gently challenged toward meaningful change. Together, we work to increase insight, strengthen coping skills, and shift patterns that may no longer be serving you. I often describe the work as walking alongside clients through difficult moments—metaphorically holding your hand when things feel heavy—while also supporting you in moving through and beyond those challenges.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, recognize their strengths, and work toward meaningful growth. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Adelphi University and my Master of Arts degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from Hofstra University. Throughout my career of over 30 years in counseling and clinical settings, I have been dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My background in both clinical social work and vocational rehabilitation allows me to support clients not only with their emotional well-being, but also with developing confidence, independence, and direction during times of change. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, family conflict, and major life transitions. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals and families navigating divorce, co-parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and the emotional impact these transitions can have on both children and adults. I also enjoy helping clients who are facing changes related to education, career goals, employment challenges, disability, and finding balance between personal and professional responsibilities. I believe that each person has unique strengths and abilities, and therapy can help uncover those strengths while creating a path forward. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client's individual needs. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, and trauma-informed care to help clients develop effective coping strategies, improve relationships, and create lasting change. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, struggling with relationships, or seeking support in creating a more fulfilling life, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel challenging, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth.
