I received my Master’s Degree from Adelphi University. I currently work with individuals mandated to receive Mental Health Services. My therapeutic approach is from a strength-based perspective.

I want my clients to know that my sessions are not only therapeutic but also a safe space where you can express yourself freely without feeling like you’re being judged.

We will work collaboratively to foster health, growth and healing at your pace utilizing solutions focused, psychodynamic, narrative, cognitive behavioral therapies and other evidence-based therapies.
