ABOUT ME

The most important factor to having a successful and healing therapeutic experience is finding the right fit with a therapist. With that in mind, My goal is to create a space filled with warmth, openness and safety where my clients feel that they can explore their deepest selves.

I’m an EMDR trauma therapy trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn who has been working as a psychotherapist since 2012.  Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I spent 10 years in the film and television industry which I believe gives me a unique perspective working with creatively minded individuals. My eclectic approach reflects my belief that we are all creative at our core and that within each of us, there is a whole, all knowing center that gets muted by life experiences. I would love the opportunity to work with you to uncover that part of yourself on your journey of self-discovery and meaning.
