About

Hi, I'm so glad you are seeking connection and selfcare. I'm a licensed clinical social worker in NY and I love the arts. I love to engage and get to know others. We are in this journey together! My goal is to create an environment where you feel seen and heard. Creating a confidential and judgement free space where you can feel free to work on what is most pressing in your life. I look forward to getting to know you and working together to achieve your goals. I'm a person-centered clinician, no need for you to be anyone but you.

Education & Licensure
I have an undergraduate degree in Anthropology from Hunter College and a Masters in Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I'm driven by other people's resilience. I admire the individual differences we all bring to this earth. I became more interested in working with the neurodivergent population later in my career and I see my son, who is autistic, learn to navigate a world that sometimes struggles to understand him. I want to help you navigate your challenges and highlight your strengths to hone the skills needed to meet those challenges whether it relates to work, relationships or self-love. Together we can explore what works and doesn't work for you in the settings where interact or want to interact with others in a healthier way.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I love to advocate for others, but I also love to empower others to become good self-advocates. I want to support you as you learn to support yourself and affirm your own strengths. I believe every individual has unique strengths and skills they can share with other. I want to assure you that there is a lot of power and resilience in being vulnerable. I believe every individual can set up the tasks they want to achieve when they are believed in. I believe in you.
