About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State with over 6 years of professional experience. My experience includes helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.


My counseling style is fairly laid back and I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate. I use a person-centered and solution-focused approach to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult and to provide a safe place to allow for healing and growth.
