About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience practicing psychotherapy in both New York and Florida. My interest in mental health and well-being started at New York University where I graduated with an individualized major in Complementary Methods of Healing. With great interest and passion for helping others, I went on to obtain my Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work.  

 

Prior to opening my private practice, I provided psychotherapy in mental health clinics serving adults in Miami and New York City and also served as the in-house mental health clinician for two prominent NYC High schools.  During this time I also co-founded and facilitated weekly social-emotional wellness groups, focusing on stress management and healthy lifestyle. 

 

The experience derived from these placements has afforded me the ability to approach therapy through an integrative lens. I utilize evidence based practices, including psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy, while also drawing upon my holistic education, trainings and certifications; some examples include mind-body healing techniques, meditation, and teen yoga and mindfulness.  I often find it helpful to explore with a client the balance between understanding where patterns, behaviors and feelings may have originated and formed, while simultaneously implementing tangible personalized tools. I strive to create a compassion focused, warm approach to therapy, greatly tailored to each individual's unique experiences, needs, and goals.  

 

I believe in a person's innate strength and capability to find peace, and experience a purposeful, fulfilling life and that therapy can play an integral role in this process.  This often involves genuine connection and collaboration and I consider it a great privilege to be a part of this journey.
