As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Child Life Specialist, and Grief Counselor, I have had the privilege of supporting countless children and families through some of their most challenging moments. I recognize the profound impact that early experiences have on a child’s emotional and psychological development. Driven by a passion for understanding the unique needs of each child, I take a holistic and personalized approach to therapy, tailoring interventions to meet the individual strengths, challenges, and developmental stage of each client and family.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing virtually in New York and New Jersey. My focus is on providing individual therapy to adults struggling with a cancer diagnosis or other chronic illnesses, caregiving, grief, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, work stress, and women's issues. Before becoming a Social Worker I had a career in finance, so I can also provide therapy and career counseling to individuals working in high-stress environments.

My eclectic therapeutic approach draws from my background as a social worker as well as my training in relational psychoanalysis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and family/marital therapy. While thinking about the person and their environment I focus on the present and revisit the past in order to better understand how it affects one’s current life.
