I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker and a graduate of the Columbia University School of Social Work. I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and relationship or family conflict. My style is engaging and casual, and I work hard to create a comfortable space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with curiosity, openness, and authenticity. I want people to feel at ease being their authentic selves throughout the process.

I approach each client from a whole-person perspective, guided by genuine curiosity about their unique lived experience. Rather than focusing solely on what feels wrong, I want to understand the broader context of your story: what has shaped you, what matters to you, and how your experiences have influenced the way you move through the world. From there we work collaboratively to support growth, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a trained EMDR therapist and integrate this evidence-based approach as a core part of my work with clients looking to process and heal from traumatic experiences. I also draw from CBT, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, IFS, and person-centered therapy. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I tailor our work to what each person actually needs.

In sessions, you can expect a warm, conversational, and collaborative environment where you feel genuinely heard and understood. My style is relational and engaging, so sessions tend to feel more like a meaningful dialogue than a clinical experience. I want you to feel comfortable exploring at your own pace.

The clients I tend to connect with most are thoughtful, self-reflective people who carry a lot internally while striving to meet high expectations. Many are new to therapy and curious about what it means to engage in a longer-term, supportive space. Whether you know exactly what you want to work on or are not sure where to begin, we can figure it out together.

A fun fact about me: I was a dancer and competitive gymnast for fifteen years. Those experiences shaped how I understand discipline, confidence, identity, and resilience, and they also inspired much of my academic work exploring the impact of competitive sports and athletics on mental health. That curiosity continues to inform how I show up in my work today.
