Originally from New York and now calling North Carolina home, I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology and my Master’s in Social Work from Stony Brook University. My professional background includes experience in elementary school settings—providing group therapy and community outreach—as well as inpatient psychiatric hospitals, where I served adolescents and adults through crisis intervention and short-term therapeutic services.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and nonjudgmental space. My goal is to ease the transition into the therapeutic process, ensuring you feel safe, comfortable, and heard as we work at a pace that feels right for you.

Areas of Focus

• Children & Teens: I help young clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and navigate school-based difficulties. I deeply value the relationship between parents and children and aim to support the needs of the whole family.

• Adults: My work centers on helping individuals build insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and manage life and career transitions with clarity and confidence.

Clinical Expertise & Support

I am qualified to treat a variety of mental health conditions and help individuals navigate complex life challenges, including:

• Anxiety and Adjustment Disorders

• Depression and Mood Disorders

• ADHD and Executive Functioning deficits

• Suicide Assessment, Intervention, and Prevention

• Stress Management and Self-Esteem

• Relationship Difficulties and Women’s Issues

• Life and Career Transitions

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

I would be honored to walk alongside you or your family on this journey toward healing and growth.
