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 am a certified 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.
