Clinical Supervisor
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master’s Degree from Columbia University School of Social Work and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from SUNY Stony Brook. My professional background includes work in a community mental health clinic serving individuals across the lifespan, as well as with older adults in supportive housing. I currently work with adults to help them navigate a wide range of challenges, including life transitions, anxiety disorders, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, and trauma.
My Approach
I am deeply committed to providing affirming, inclusive care and work with clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, striving to create a space that feels safe and welcoming. My therapeutic style is individualized and integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic Therapy, Strengths-Based Perspective, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Rather than strictly adhering to any one approach, I blend these modalities with my clinical experience and intuition to meet each client’s unique needs.
What To Expect
I believe trust is the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship. Through empathy and active listening, I help clients feel genuinely seen and understood. Therapy is a journey, and healing can take many forms. My goal is to support people in building insight and self-awareness so they can grow, thrive, and move toward their fullest potential.
