Do you find yourself thinking... "I overthink everything." "I care too much about what people think." "I'm always expecting the worst." "I have no confidence." "I can't stop worrying." If those thoughts sound familiar, you're not alone. Living with anxiety can feel exhausting. You may replay conversations long after they're over, doubt your decisions, avoid speaking up, or constantly wonder if you're "good enough." Even when life seems to be going well, your mind doesn't seem to turn off. I specialize in anxiety, self-doubt, social anxiety, and chronic overthinking. Together, we'll work to quiet your inner critic, challenge anxious thought patterns, build lasting confidence, and help you feel more at peace in your everyday life. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel understood while learning practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space; within that space lies your power and freedom…” Here’s the thing; we’re all basically the same- but then again, not. Our reactions (to unexpected events, comments, public scrutiny) can vary, depending on our nature, personality, character and whether or not we’ve had breakfast. While the last part was just to get your attention, I’m committed to understanding what makes YOU “tick” and why you respond the way you do. That, in and of itself may be fascinating, but my true intention is to get you back on track, help you find your footing and become laser-focused & confident, regardless of your circumstances! A bit about me: A native New Yorker, I acquired my MSW following a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CCNY. Essentially, I view myself as a scientist and life coach, a motivator who recognizes that we’re ALL unique individuals, but do share many of the same thoughts & feelings. Most of us have struggled with anxiety, uncertainty and self-doubt; yet we’ve also experienced feeling confident, grounded and secure at one time or another. Then something happened and our self-esteem took a hit; there were setbacks. Bear in mind, our backgrounds and early childhood experiences, our genetic predispositions all serve to shape our personalities and the essence of our being. To that end, as a clinician, I strive to guide individuals to examine their beliefs- in order to gain insight into their potentially self-destructive behavior- or whatever is getting in the way of their progress. Together, we’ll explore what’s influenced your self-concept and self-esteem. The saying that always resonated with me, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t- you’re right…” Life can feel overwhelming & insurmountable, but with the right tools, the sky’s the limit- whatever you’re facing!

Congratulations for taking the first step towards your healing and self discovery. The successful therapeutic process requires a safe connection with your practitioner. If after reading my profile you suspect my skills are aligned with your needs, we can set-up an exploratory session to create a plan that works best for you in our partnership together. I understand that looking for quality therapeutic services can feel like a challenge and as the world evolves, so does the sense of ourselves begin to unfold. I value and advocate for the dignity of all cultures, respect our differences, and provide a safe space to explore the injustices we encounter. In the early days of my career, I began with an interest in the grassroots work to help strengthen communities. I've supported many individuals throughout the world with a strong interest in healing and teaching others on how to find their own voice. Over the past 20 years, I've practiced in a variety of treatment modalities with a strong focus on a holistic approach. I hold a dual Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work and Leadership. Within my professional journey, my expertise in delivering therapeutic services range from Early Childhood Development to Older Adults in a variety of settings but not limited to e.g. schools, hospitals, nonprofit, community programs, and residential treatment. Today, my specialties include trauma focused therapy, psychotherapy, defining our attachment styles, CBT, mindfulness techniques, life transitions, work-related stress, coaching, and exploring intergenerational patterns. I'm passionate about the Arts and have incorporated them into my practice, which influenced my style of therapy. This modality can help connect the mind and body in ways to recenter and express ourselves. Ultimately, my goal is to help uncover some of the challenges you're facing and amplify the strengths you already have.

With over 12 years of experience as a licensed social worker, I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults navigating life’s challenges and build meaningful, healthy lives. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, relationships, behavioral issues and related concerns. My approach is client-centered and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychoanalytic techniques, positive psychology, and motivational interviewing, among other evidence-based methods tailored to each client’s needs. I believe deeply in the connection between mind and body as essential to overall wellness. I encourage healthy movement, balanced living, and self-compassion as part of the healing process. Above all, I hold that every person is capable of growth, resilience, and a fulfilling life—no matter the challenges they’ve faced.
