About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Oklahoma. I have over 11 years of experience working as a therapist for individuals, couples, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, stress and emotional regulation, interpersonal concerns, trauma and PTSD, grief/loss, and self-esteem. I am also driven to serve and be an ally for communities such as LGBTQIA+, first responders, and women's wellness including pre- and postpartum issues.

My therapy style is to create a safe, interactive space of support, open-mindedness, and engage in a collaborative process which involves myself and the client entering a space that is non-judgmental and honest.

My goal is to meet my clients based on their individual needs and create a treatment approach based on those needs. This means identifying clinical methods most helpful to the client. My approach will utilize behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (including DBT and RET), humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused brief therapy, and relational therapy. At times, different methods will be used to help tailor our work together in order to challenge and understand the discomfort in order to foster growth and change.

This is where I truly believe in the therapeutic relationship and the trust we will build in order to explore, be vulnerable, and create insight. The therapeutic relationship can be a catalyst for fostering growth. Through our relationship we can identify patterns and behaviors that make you stagnant and thus, we can uncover layers to help move you forward. Therapy is a very personal journey where you engage in vulnerability, heal mental and emotional wounds, and build insight to bring more awareness to everyday living. My hope is to help bring clarity and purpose in order to help you be your best self.

I am here to support you and I am honored to witness your journey.
