I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with over 20 years of experience providing compassionate, client-centered care. I work with individuals navigating stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and confidence. My goal is to help you develop insight, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
In addition to my general practice, I specialize in supporting individuals managing complex medical conditions. Through my work in hospital settings across New York City, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological impact of chronic and serious illness. I’ve worked with clients facing a wide range of conditions, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, heart disease, chronic pain, and neurological disorders. I help clients process diagnoses, adjust to lifestyle changes, navigate healthcare systems, and manage the stress, anxiety, and identity shifts that often accompany these experiences.
My background in both private practice and hospital environments allows me to provide care that is both clinically informed and deeply empathetic, always tailored to the individual.
My Approach
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that you already possess the strengths needed to navigate life’s challenges. Seeking support takes courage, and taking that first step is often the beginning of meaningful change.
In our work together, I focus on helping you:
Work through current stressors
Develop practical, effective coping strategies
Build confidence and emotional resilience
Move toward greater clarity and alignment in your life
I strive to create a supportive, inclusive environment where you feel respected, understood, and empowered. I work with individuals of all ages, races, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
