Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I love working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, relationship concerns, and trauma histories. I am currently working online.”

About Me

When anxiety feels overwhelming, or past trauma clouds your present, finding clarity can be challenging. I offer a supportive online space where we can gently explore these experiences together. My focus is on helping you understand relationship patterns and navigate the echoes of trauma. Sessions unfold at your pace, allowing you to gently uncover insights. We'll build practical ways forward, fostering greater calm and connection in your life. This dedicated focus ensures a tailored approach for lasting change.

Approach

When anxiety, relationship concerns, or past wounds feel overwhelming, I guide a careful, paced way of working that helps you notice what’s happening inside and between relationships. I meet with people online from my Brooklyn practice in English, creating a steady virtual container where we track sensations, explore recurring patterns, and try small experiments that shift how you relate to yourself and others. Sessions move at your pace, with practical steps to use between meetings. This approach often suits those seeking clearer footing and calmer connection.
