Override Hero Title

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy is not only about managing symptoms but also about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I earned my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hofstra University and have experience working with individuals, couples, and families in both outpatient and community mental health settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, stress, grief, care-giving burnout, LGBTQ+, substance abuse, self-esteem concerns, and family conflict. I'll help you explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical tools to help you move toward the life and relationships you want and absolutely deserve. I understand that culture, family expectations, identity, and generational experiences can significantly shape mental health and relationships as well. Whether these topics are central to your therapy or simply part of your story, I strive to provide culturally responsive care that honors your unique experiences. I believe every client is unique, so treatment is tailored to your individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, I look forward to working alongside you and helping you build greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

I am experienced in working with diverse groups of adults at varying stages of their lives who bring a variety of personal and relational challenges to therapy. My goals are to help you increase your level of self-awareness, enhance your relationships, develop tools to cope with life stressors, and ultimately optimize your mental health. We are all entitled to live our most authentic life; I am here to support you on this journey.

To listen to another person's story and be a part of the process of their progress is my mission. I have always been curious about human interactions and the story that someone tells. As a psychotherapist, I see that working with the human psyche in the Western world can present challenges. A place where "wellness" is fostered with approaches that seek to eliminate undesired behaviors and thought patterns. Instead I work in a way that welcomes all aspects of you and and your personality. I bring a compassionate and curious approach to facilitating your journey toward understanding yourself more deeply and moving toward change.

I value connection and trust. While I aim to provide a safe & encouraging space to share your narrative I also provide feedback & remain engaged in conversation throughout session. I ask that you keep an open mind & give yourself the grace & patience we all deserve throughout this journey.

Taking care of our minds is essential to living healthy, fulfilling lives. Together we can decide what a healthy mind means to you. No man is an island, I am here to help. I look forward to meeting you.

The core of my work has been to help people find solutions that work, to problems that prevent them from moving forward and living satisfying lives and relationships. I help people who feel stuck, to overcome life’s challenges, regain control of their lives and become the managers of their own self. Over the last 17 years I have been working with adults, teenagers and children from different cultures both in the US and overseas. Through my specialization and experience in severe and persistent mental illness I help people tackle emotional and communication difficulties that interfere with their relationships with friends, family

and the workplace. In my clinical work, I use evidence based psychotherapeutic approaches that have been proven effective through time. In a compassionate, and supportive environment I help people deal with a variety of problems like anxiety, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, personality disorders,

emotional, relationship issues and divorce. I have extensive experience working with veterans, college students, substance abuse and LGBD individuals. In addition to individual therapy I do parent consultations for children and teenagers.

As a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take great joy in getting to know you and your goals in life. My pleasure is to help you overcome obstacles and work toward your goals through strength and perseverance of mental wellness. Having worked in complex situations in the past, I have a host of resources and ideas to help work through any obstacles that may come our way.

We all face challenging feelings, these feelings are normal; however, sometimes we need to develop the right tools to deal with them in a healthy way. I have a passion for mental health and supporting those on their journey to wellness. I integrate mental, physical, and spiritual health to help clients achieve overall wellness.
