Being a person is hard. You don't have to go it alone.
Being a person is hard. I’m here to walk with you through growth, self-reflection, change and challenge. Together we will identify obstacles, develop goals and move through the discomfort to get you closer to your dreams, to your desires, and to yourself. The road can feel long, but you don’t have to go it alone.
I specialize in work with adults who are navigating relationship challenges, individuals facing life transitions, and women contemplating pregnancy, fertility concerns and perinatal issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does therapy
work?
Therapy is a tool for healing, transformation and personal growth. Together we will form a therapeutic relationship to promote change. You’ll identify challenges and I’ll apply evidence-based therapeutic interventions, self-reflective practices and mindfulness techniques to co-create a roadmap to achieve your goals. There may be some unexpected turns, but you won’t have to go it alone.
What happens during the first session?
You arrive as your full self and I’ll provide the space and time to explore what’s really going on. There will be time to discuss what brings you into the office, in search of therapy and what you’re looking for in the therapeutic relationship. I will talk to you about my approach and ways we might move forward. Then get some feedback from you about thoughts and feelings regarding next steps.
Do you provide clinical supervision?
Yes! I am a SIFI Certified clinical social worker in New York state and hold a Post Masters Certificate in Clinical Supervision from New York University. I provide supervision for practitioners accumulating clinical hours, as well as other mental health practitioners looking to explore and deepen their practice.
Do you accept insurance?
