I am a Clinical Social Work Associate with a variety of experience.  I have worked in a variety of settings such as outpatient mental health therapy, substance abuse and suicide treatment, and early intervention supports for children and parents.  I have supported individuals facing housing and income insecurity through a range of mental health challenges. 

I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Syracuse University where I graduated with honors. I bring a warm and friendly personality to therapy utilizing humor when appropriate. While the therapy journey can be challenging at times, it can also be joyful and fun.  I strive to create a friendly warm space where you can talk about your experiences without fear of judgement or criticism.  My goal is to support you towards the life you want.

My therapeutic practice is client-centered, meaning I tailor our work together to your unique goals, preferences, and needs. Whether you want to process past experiences or navigate current life stressors, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way. I also use a strengths-based approach and variety of techniques including talk, somatic (body-connection), art and experiential therapies.

I work with clients on a wide array of concerns, including trauma, attachment injuries, anxiety, depression, grief, body image, self-esteem, and life transitions.  I recognize the profound impact that systems of oppression – such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny – have on mental health and daily life. I am passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community as they navigate family dynamics, gender transition, identity integration, and self-acceptance. 

I strive to create a space where all my clients, regardless of background, feel safe, accepted, and empowered to heal and thrive.  The opportunity to travel life’s challenges and joys alongside clients is the greatest honor. I look forward to hearing your story and learning how best I can get you to where you want to go.
