Hand Extended Therapy

About Me I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Ramapo College of New Jersey, a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Pace University, and a Master's in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. This blend of psychological theory and clinical social work practice gives me a broad, flexible foundation for meeting people where they are, whether that's a demanding career, a full household, or the uncertain terrain of growing up. My approach is grounded in person-centered (Rogerian) therapy, which means empathy, authenticity, and genuine regard for each client are at the heart of how I work. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical, skills-based change, and Focusing, a body-aware practice that helps clients tune into the physical and emotional signals that often carry important meaning. I am also trained in Levels 1 and 2 of the Gottman Method for couples counseling, and I have extensive experience working with adolescents and young adults, both individually and alongside the parents who are trying to support them. I work with professionals carrying the weight of burnout and high-functioning anxiety, parents navigating the daily pressures of family life, and teens and young adults working through questions of identity, relationships, and belonging. I also support individuals facing depression, anxiety, and the ongoing process of understanding themselves more fully. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to offer a grounded, honest, and supportive space where real change is possible.
