I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Manhattanville College, where I majored in Sociology and minored in Psychology, and my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University. My experience spans acute inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient therapy, community mental health, and care management.
I have worked with adults from diverse backgrounds experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, psychosis, postpartum depression and anxiety, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, life transitions, and challenges with healthy boundaries, among many others. My experience also includes working with military personnel and veterans, and I am particularly passionate about working with individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, supportive, culturally sensitive, and individualized to each client’s needs, with empathy and a focus on individual strengths. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their experiences while also feeling supported and challenged toward meaningful change. I incorporate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Supportive Therapy, ACT, ERP, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed interventions, and a variety of other therapeutic approaches. My goal is to help clients better understand patterns in their emotions, behaviors, and relationships, develop practical skills, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives.
