I offer a safe, confidential, and supportive space for people to talk about their emotions and experiences. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and I am here to help you on your journey.
I graduated with my Master’s in Social Work from Stony Brook University, School of Social Welfare. Throughout my experience there I was fortunate to work with adolescents with various mental health concerns and was able to provide them a safe space in their journey of healing. I have also worked with adults with disabilities, and mental health concerns such as depression, and trauma.
One question I always get asked is why social work and truthfully it was life experiences that guided me here. I want to help people in ways that were not accessible to me growing up. My life experiences have allowed me to be open, empathetic and genuine in regards to treatment.
This is a judgement free zone and together, we will work to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals. If you are ready to take the first step towards a happier, healthier life, I am here to help.
