Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (C-DBT). I'm from Long Island, NY-- but am now living in North Carolina. I received my Master's Degree from The University of South Carolina and have been practicing for 11 years. I enjoy helping individuals work through day-to-day life issues and stressors while teaching new ways to cope, process and manage life.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, raport building, 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. Most importantly, I just want to see you and hear you. The REAL, raw, authentic you! I will provide a safe place for you to let it go and hopefully walk away feeling a lighter mentally and hopeful of change. * if you don’t see a time slot that you prefer just inbox me, I do have more availability but I like to schedule that separately.

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

I am a Therapist that enjoys thinking outside of the box. I'm not your typical "cookie cutter/textbook Therapist". I believe in taking different approaches for different people and I work WITH my clients and listen to their input and desires, in order to create a quality Care Plan. I enjoy being myself. I am fun, outgoing, empathetic, genuine and a very positive person. I have been told by past clients that people seem to connect better with me just by, "keeping it real and being honest".

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

"Are you tired of feeling stuck, lost, confused, defeated and tossed around? Well, guess what, things can get better, and your quality of life CAN improve! You just need support, guidance, a listening ear and motivation. I enjoy working with clients who are in all walks of life. Some of my strong therapeutic areas include--Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Women Issues, LGBTQ+ Community, Life Transitions and Grief. I will guide you through getting out of old habits and patterns. I will not only listen to you but will give the necessary steps you need to get through your life journey (Well--my goal is to try and if I'm not the right fit for you, or if i can't help with your situation, I will be honest along the way and make sure you are linked with another therapist that better fits your specific need and therapeutic style)."
