Hey there! I'm a passionate therapist who specializes in helping individuals and couples overcome deep-seated issues caused by past trauma and pain. My clients often feel that life threw them one (or more) unexpected curveballs, which left them feeling unsure, stuck, and repeating unwanted behaviors. Realizing that there is more to life, my clients reach out seeking freedom, recovery and nourishing relationships with themselves and others. I have extensive experience working with clients dealing with a range of issues including codependency, addiction, eating disorders, body image and self-esteem challenges, separation/divorce, loss and grief, abuse, depression and anxiety. I take a personalized approach to each client, tailoring my therapy sessions to your unique preferences, needs and goals. My ultimate goal is to empower you to take charge of your life, reclaim your power and create positive change. If you're looking for a therapist who will support and motivate you to become the best version of yourself, let’s connect!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I received a Master's degree from Fordham University in Professional Counseling and Pastoral Care, and a Ph.D. from Fordham University in Social Work, specializing in Clinical Mental Health. I am licensed in New York and Florida as a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and hold a certification in addiction counseling.
