Therapy starts with connection—and that begins with getting to know each other.
I’ve always been drawn to understanding how people think, feel, and grow. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural fit—an extension of my empathy, curiosity, and desire to be present with people through challenges and change. Over time, I’ve built on those instincts through clinical training, research, and hands-on experience to help clients feel seen, supported, and capable of meaningful growth.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and New Jersey, with a Master’s degree from NYU School of Social Work and a PhD from Yeshiva University’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work. I also teach in master’s-level social work programs at Wurzweiler and Touro University, where I focus on clinical practice, mental health, and ethics.
Before starting my private practice, I spent more than a decade working in middle and high schools, supporting students, families, and educators. That experience continues to shape my approach to therapy. I think about each person within the context of their relationships, responsibilities, and the transitions they are navigating.
Clients often come to therapy when something feels uncertain, overwhelming, or difficult to make sense of on their own. Some are managing anxiety or ADHD, others are navigating relationship questions, school or career transitions, or changes in how they see themselves and their future.
Clients describe me as warm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and meet each person where they are. Sometimes our work focuses on practical tools—managing stress, navigating relationships, or staying organized. Other times, we slow down and make space for emotions that feel tangled, overwhelming, or hard to name.
My approach is collaborative and flexible. I draw from a range of evidence-based methods, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Mindfulness and self-compassion practices
Motivational Interviewing
Strengths-based and psychodynamic frameworks
Therapy with me is person-centered and responsive to what’s happening in your life. Some sessions focus on practical skills like boundary setting or emotional regulation; others explore patterns, beliefs, or past experiences. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
At its core, therapy is about connection. I aim to create a space where you feel safe being honest, supported in your growth, and empowered to make meaningful change.
I look forward to connecting!
