Change can be difficult and uncomfortable. In times of transition, in relationship struggles, after a loss, and when we experience an increase in life stressors, we feel less balanced. During these moments, we may be more vulnerable to experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Connecting with and trusting a therapist can help us build support, awareness and growth. Using evidence supported mind-body approaches, I will work with you to explore what is important to you, uncover strengths and build inner resilience. Together we will identify patterns and dynamics getting in your way to help you move forward.

With a focus on building a foundation of self-care skills, I can work with you to approach life in a more emotionally connected way. This often creates more experiences of calm, clarity and improved energy. Along the way, this approach also leads to a path of healing from grief and trauma. Please reach out if you would like to work together.

Title: Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist

Credentials: LCSW

I believe that with the right psychotherapy, one can face any life challenge head on, and develop the insight and the skills to grow from them. I have an empathic approach that allows the space for my patients to look within and do the necessary work to improve their lives. I specialize in working with college students and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. I have extensive experience helping individuals cope with occupational conflicts, relationship difficulties, lack of self esteem, panic and stress , and overall dissatisfaction in life.

I utilize a psychodynamic approach, and integrate various treatment modalities including Insight Oriented Talk Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems. I am dedicated to helping people develop a sense of self that allows them to feel confident and at peace, while freeing up the roadblocks interfering with their ability to create the life they always wanted.

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist who earned her Master’s Degree from New York University. After completing my Master’s in Clinical Social Work in 1999, I went on to attend a four year post-graduate program at The National Institute of the Psychotherapies. It was here that I was certified in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have since attended numerous trainings on alternative therapies including CBT, IFS, and Mindfulness.
