For as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in understanding what makes people tick differently from each other.  I distinctly remember, at 6 years old, coming to the realization that the friends and adults in my life had different thoughts, beliefs, views, and judgements which sometimes led to miscommunication, disappointment and frustration. I remember thinking that if I could only know and understand what the other person was thinking, and why, I could bridge the gap between us. My thinking wasn’t so eloquent back then, no, … my 6 year old brain thought mental health therapists were telepathic and actually were able to read peoples’ minds therefore understanding others better.  

Over the years, my interest grew into a passion for mental health and drew me to the field of social work and therapy. It led me to pursue a B.A. in Psychology from Boston University, followed by a Masters in Social Work from New York University and a rewarding career in helping people improve their lives. 

For the past 20 years, I’ve been assisting clients through both crises and periods of feeling stuck, while also helping them strive for a better quality of life. I initially worked with clients in an inpatient psychiatric setting before transitioning to my private practice 10 years ago. I have found great joy in meeting others and walking beside them in life’s journey, helping them have healthy, meaningful relationships and fulfilling lives.
