LCSW, 16 years of experience
New to Grow
As a therapist I have spent the majority of my professional experience in specializing in working with young adults and teens. I like to think of the client in a holistic way, incorporating use of psychotherapy coupled with mindfulness practices to bring the mind body connection more in alignment and empower clients to create change in their lives as a part of their healing journey. As a licensed clinician with 16 years of experience supporting teens and young adults in crisis response, processing trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions; my hope is to create a safe space through compassion and empathy, while collaborating in taking actionable steps towards healing.
I want to recognize that sharing about yourself can be uncomfortable, especially when sharing with a stranger, even if that stranger is a therapist. Our first sessions is focused on creating a safe space and moving at a pace you feel comfortable with as we explore what has brought you to therapy and life events that has brought you to seek out therapy. In our work together, we’ll explore not just what feels difficult right now, the current and past challenges, but also at the whole of who you are, your strengths, areas in need and capacity for growth.
I create a comfortable space where sharing can feel less overwhelming, encouraging a gradual process of opening up. With significant amount of compassion and a little humor, I aim to connect with you on a more personable level. Clients often share that they feel like our sessions are a safe space to be vulnerable and explore their past, and better understand how it impacts them currently. Having lived in CA and NY, I find the balance between being kind but honest.
