My path to becoming a social worker developed out of a desire to help others, and an innate ability to connect to others with empathy. I have experience working with diverse populations and modalities (clinic and hospital settings, in-home family therapy, school based therapy).

My intake process includes a 15 minute consultation phone call to see if we are the right fit for each other. I can offer a mix of supportive talk therapy and concrete skills to address areas of concern. This is also a time for me to see if my areas of expertise and approach to therapy aligns with your goals and reasons for seeking therapy. I prefer to work with clients who are looking for support for concerns like:
relationship stress (romantic, familial, friendship)
life adjustments like moving, career or parenthood
overall support for anxious thoughts and feelings
If we are a match, clients complete a series of forms and assessments before getting started with our first session.

I recently completed a Post-Master's Certificate from New York Univeristy in Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As someone who values combining supportive talk therapy with evidence-based concrete skills, I feel I am better equipped to support folks looking for visible change in their lives after this training program. I currently work with adolescents full-time during the day, where my therapeutic muscle is stretched and strengthened in different ways. I am interested in resuming my work with adult individuals, families and couples through Alma.
