“You’re both the fire and the water that extinguishes it. You’re the narrator, the protagonist, and the sidekick. You’re the storyteller and the story told. You are somebody’s something, but you are also your you.”
From when I was young I felt an intense desire to listen and help support the people around me. It became clear throughout my education that my passion was to help individuals in various phases of life navigate experiences through non judgemental support and skill building. My goal for my clients is to treat themselves like they would treat their best friend, making sure to self prioritize, build self acceptance and self love, and find strength in their capabilities. My approach is tailored for each individual, allowing for a collaborative therapeutic alliance in which goals and style are built between myself and my clients. Whether therapy is desired as a place to express oneself in a safe context, or individuals are struggling with serious mental health experiences, or solution-focused therapy is needed, I hope to be a guide for my clients who eventually are able to become their own best support system.

I am a Licensed Social Worker who has earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Binghamton University and my Master’s from Fordham University. Throughout my education and work experience I have worked with college students, individuals at an inpatient behavioral health center, and children and adults with developmental disabilities. I am very passionate about working with young adults and college age individuals and value using therapeutic techniques such as CBT and DBT along with a strengths-based perspective with my clients. My goal is to empower individuals so that they are able to gain coping skills and eventually become their own strength and support.
