As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am passionate about helping individuals create
meaningful change in their lives through a collaborative, supportive, and empowering therapeutic process.
I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or
feeling stuck.
Rather than focusing only on problems, I work with clients to uncover their strengths, develop practical
skills, and reconnect with their values. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, daily stress, or seeking
personal growth, therapy can be a space for insight, healing, and real change.
I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University and bring both clinical training and
deep compassion into every session.

You dreamed of what becoming a mother would feel like — and maybe this isn’t it. You’re exhausted in ways you didn’t expect. You’re anxious, or numb, or you can’t stop the intrusive thoughts. You love your baby and yet you feel lost inside your own life. That disconnect is real, and it makes sense.
I specialize in supporting mothers through the emotional weight of the perinatal period; from pregnancy through the postpartum years. This includes birth trauma, postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, and the profound stress of a NICU stay or premature birth. If your baby’s early days were shaped by fear, separation, or medical uncertainty, you don’t have to carry that alone.
In our work together, you won’t be rushed, minimized, or handed a generic coping list. You’ll have space to say the things you haven’t been able to say out loud and to slowly feel like yourself again.
I offer virtual sessions, making it easy to get support from the comfort of your home — no babysitter required.

I am a therapist and sex therapist with a rich background spanning diverse careers, life transitions, and relationships. I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work with individuals and couples seeking deeper connection—with themselves, their partners, and the world around them.
I understand how easy it can be to feel stuck in the past or caught in repetitive patterns that no longer serve you. Sometimes, talking things through with yourself, family, or friends simply isn’t enough to create meaningful change. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain new perspective, and understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My goal is not only to help you develop practical tools to manage symptoms and navigate specific challenges, but also to support deeper, lasting transformation. Together, we can explore your personal narrative, identify patterns that may be holding you back, clarify what matters most to you, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others.
