“Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness. It’s the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing that the light will shine again.”

I have had a unique journey as a therapist. I have spent time volunteering in a refugee home in South Africa, teaching at a school in Tanzania and working with children and young adults in Israel. I believe that my experiences have allowed me to become a better person, as well as a better therapist.
I received my Masters in Social Work from Fordham University in New York City. I am currently a member of the National Association of Social Workers, and a licensed clinical professional. I have also completed trainings in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as with the Center for Self-Leadership in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
When working with clients who have other treatment team professionals, I feel collaboration is extremely important. As a professional, my goal is to make sure that you are receiving the best care. You should expect this goal from your psychiatrist and/or nutritionist as well.
I have been described as a very calm and genuine person. Clients have said that they appreciate how caring, compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental I am.
Being able to watch a client begin to have faith in themselves or feel hopeful again is such an incredible experience for me. I truly treasure the therapeutic relationship, and I am always inspired by my clients when they are able to be open and brave.
I have worked with all different demographics with all different backgrounds. Please see my “Services” page to read more about my specializations.
I bring 100% of my best self to every session. All therapists are human, but it is important that therapists completely focus on their client during the sessions. I also believe in moving at the client’s own pace. I am never in a rush to get a client to talk about something that they aren’t ready to talk about. I can help people heal because I give them the time and space they need to truly process what they have been through.
