About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York offering both in-person and virtual sessions. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. This study of psychology inspired my already-strong desire to help others, and I went on to get my Master's in Social Work from New York University Silver School of Social Work.

After graduating, I continued my education to get my Post-Master's Certificate in Clinical Work with Adolescents from NYU. In addition to private practice I have worked in a variety of school settings. In these schools I've done a combination of work individually with students as well as family/parent work. When not doing individual therapy, I work as the Middle School Counselor at The Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, NY, and in my free time I love to ride my Peloton and try new restaurants!

My Approach

I approach the therapeutic relationship with collaboration at the forefront: no one person is the same, or needs the same things. You can expect me to be a thought partner and an ally; I am here to help guide you through challenges, setbacks and exploration in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

I will work with you (or your teen!) to connect with yourself in order to reach the goals we set together, or to feel empowered to be curious about who you are and where you are. In our sessions you will be in a safe, warm environment, free to look inside yourself and delve into the crux of what has been happening for you.

By practicing with an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities including Person-Centered Therapy and a bit of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I ensure that we are meeting your needs one session at a time.

I value connection wholeheartedly; I believe that in order for therapy to work the client and therapist need to have a strong, trusting working relationship. I am approachable and compassionate, and with a bit of humor, calmness and commitment to the work, I know we can help you achieve what you want to achieve.
