Let’s be honest, life can sometimes be hard to live, but it doesn’t have to be. Everyone is entitled to a life of joy. At times our circumstances, trauma, mental health diagnosis, and/or medical condition may seem to stand in the way of that. With the right therapist you can find joy and life can feel better to live.

I believe most people are trying to be a better person today than they were yesterday. Without judgement, I will guide you through how to best manage what is holding you back from that life of joy.

A bit about me, my education is from Stony Brook University where I am a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society. In a clinical setting I have experience with those with anxiety, depression, PTSD, social anxiety, OCD, behavioral issues, substance use, along with a variety of mental health diagnoses.  Beyond clinical therapy the experience I have is in school and community social work as well as crisis management, intervention, and assessment. The populations that I have served are adolescents to adults, as well as those with intellectual disabilities. I am working towards obtaining my PMH-C, which is a perinatal mental health certificate. That certificate will give me the intimate knowledge and expertise needed to work with maternal mental health issues including PPD, traumatic birth, and loss.
