At the core of my practice is a patient-centered approach that prioritizes the individual needs and preferences of each patient. I believe in fostering strong clinician-patient relationships built on trust, empathy, and open communication. By involving patients in their own care decisions and providing education about their health, I empower patients to take an active role in their well-being. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing mainly on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and incorporating mindfulness into a wellness-based approach. My expertise is in integrative care and trauma-informed psychotherapy, working with adults and families with mental health needs.

I offer flexible, client-focused, and culturally competent treatment, tailoring every session to meet each individual's unique needs and creating a space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing journey. During the initial session, I take time to understand each patient's history, concerns, goals, and existing strengths, and I collaborate with clients to develop personalized treatment plans aimed at providing both immediate relief and long-term healing.

I bring over 15 years of experience working in community and outpatient settings with individuals across all age groups, and I utilize various treatment modalities to meet diverse needs. I earned my degree from Adelphi University School of Social Work and am a licensed clinical social worker committed to compassionate, effective care.

I view therapy as a meaningful act of self-investment — an opportunity to approach oneself with curiosity, courage, and compassion.

My approach is collaborative, relational, and evidence-based, integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral techniques.

I have a balanced and informed perspective on therapy and seek to draw from patient experience and strength in partnership toward a common goal of reducing stress and symptoms of various life challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, life transitions, and others. My clinical perspective is practical and informed by various clinical orientations, yet unique to each individual. I am collaborative and integrative in my approach to therapy and seek to build connections with clients' medical providers or others to enhance clinical outcomes.

Typically, I start work with clients as a conversation in the context of an enduring interest and belief in the capacity of individuals to make meaningful changes in their lives. Interventions are an important aspect of my clinical work, often rooted in CBT, Narrative Therapy, Systems Theory, ACT, and elements of Positive Psychology. I approach clients from a biological, psychological, and sociological perspective, seeking to understand individuals from each of these domains.

I offer a warm, approachable, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and supported.

My experience spans nearly two decades working with many who struggle to find their way through different life challenges. I will collaborate with you to identify and attain goals. Getting to know you is the first step, and that is achieved through a variety of approaches grounded in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and understanding any types of trauma that may have been experienced. Many have had trauma, and what I have learned is that talking about the details of the trauma is not always helpful. It may be a component of healing, but there may be other ways to make progress.

Some may include person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).
