About
Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Nina and I am a therapist licensed in New York and Maryland. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward personal growth, healing, and greater self-understanding. As a clinician, I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to build on your strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience. I look forward to supporting you wherever you are on your journey.
My interest in working with autistic and neurodivergent clients grew from my experience working in a school setting, where I supported students on the autism spectrum as they navigated various challenges. Through this experience, I developed a deeper appreciation for the unique strengths, perspectives, and needs of neurodivergent individuals. I found this work especially rewarding and meaningful, which inspired me to continue supporting individuals in a way that recognizes their individuality, builds on their strengths, and helps them feel understood and empowered.
I bring an affirming and strength-based approach to my work by recognizing and valuing each individual’s unique strengths, experiences, and ways of navigating the world. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel accepted and understood. I believe in meeting each person where they are, honoring their individual needs, and building on their existing strengths to help them navigate challenges, develop confidence, and work toward their personal goals.
