I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Stony Brook, New York. I combine a variety of evidence-based approaches in my practice, so you can experience the latest and most effective therapies that lead to individual growth and healing. My training focuses on Positive Psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, while also integrating my certified training in the Gottman Method, Columbia University’s PGDT (Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy) and David Kessler’s certification as a Grief Educator and Counselor.

I work from a strengths based perspective, that incorporates your skillset and life experiences that have uniquely shaped you.

I also incorporate the value of understanding your ethnic and cultural background, roles within the family, experiences that have and continue to impact your life, and any other important factors that have influenced you. This allows me to better understand you as a whole person.

I appreciate working with individuals and couples struggling with overwhelming realities of life experiences and the challenges of interpersonal relationships. My belief is that one can fully embrace all aspects of their lives, no matter how difficult their journey with self-compassion, kindness, acceptance, and empathy for self and others. I’m committed to help lead you to find your true positive self-identity, as well as exploring how to heal your pain and experience personal and interpersonal transformation.
