I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals who are facing setbacks or seeking direction after periods of adversity. I specialize in working with motivated, goal-oriented people who find themselves temporarily blocked from reaching their full potential.
My goal is to help you explore areas of your life that may need attention and offer practical, evidence-based solutions that lead to meaningful change. My therapeutic style is direct, non-judgmental, and grounded in compassion. I’m passionate about creating a safe space where you can openly explore your options and reconnect with your strengths.
In our work together, you can expect a collaborative and supportive environment. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychoanalytic theory to guide our sessions, always tailoring my approach to your individual comfort level and needs. My style is active and inquisitive, helping you uncover insights and take actionable steps toward your goals.
My journey into therapy began in the South Bronx, working with youth struggling with substance use. That formative experience instilled in me a deep respect for client-driven care and a commitment to meeting people where they are. I bring curiosity, empathy, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity to shape their own path.
I believe in the power of self-determination and am dedicated to supporting you as you become the best version of yourself. I look forward to being your partner in this important work.
