New to Grow
I am a dedicated mental health professional with a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University. My clinical work focuses primarily on supporting individuals impacted by trauma, helping them navigate the lasting effects it can have on thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I utilize an integrative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide both practical coping strategies and deeper emotional understanding. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences and build resilience. My goal is to help individuals develop effective tools for managing distress, while also fostering insight and long-term healing.
In our first session, my focus is on creating a welcoming and supportive space where you feel comfortable beginning the process of therapy. We will spend time getting to know one another, exploring what brings you in, and developing a shared understanding of your experiences and concerns. I approach this initial meeting with curiosity, care, and attunement, paying close attention to your needs, pace, and comfort level. Together, we will begin to identify meaningful goals for our work, ensuring that therapy feels collaborative, purposeful, and aligned with what matters most to you.
My approach to therapy is grounded in genuine compassion, care, and a deep respect for each individual’s lived experience. I prioritize listening with intention and presence, creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. Building meaningful connection is central to my work, as I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth and healing. Alongside these interpersonal strengths, I bring a strong academic background that informs my commitment to providing thoughtful, evidence-based, and high-quality mental health care. I strive to integrate knowledge and empathy in a way that supports each client’s unique path toward well-being.
I work best with individuals who are open to self-exploration and willing to engage in the therapeutic process with curiosity and honesty. My ideal client does not need to have everything figured out, but is interested in understanding their thoughts, emotions, and patterns on a deeper level. They may be navigating the effects of past trauma, struggling with overwhelming emotions, or feeling stuck in unhelpful cycles, and are seeking both practical tools and meaningful insight. Clients who are motivated to grow, even when the work feels challenging, and who value a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship tend to benefit most from the approach I offer.
Eclectic
I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy that honors each person’s unique story and lived experience. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients build practical skills to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while fostering resilience and self-awareness. My work is deeply rooted in psychodynamic theory, allowing us to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present challenges. Together, we create a safe, collaborative space to promote healing, insight, and meaningful, lasting change.
