About

My Clients

From the outside, your life looks successful. You're accomplished, dependable, and used to performing under pressure. But behind the scenes, alcohol or substance use has become difficult to control. You've promised yourself you'll cut back or stop, only to find yourself repeating the same cycle with increasing shame. Therapy offers a private space to be honest, understand yourself more deeply, and begin moving toward lasting change.

My Approach

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with certificates in Psychodynamic Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. With 13+ years in addiction treatment—from opioid programs to Rikers Island to private rehab—I know recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Using psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, we’ll explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences shaping your relationship with substances and create meaningful change in a nonjudgmental space.

My Background

My path to becoming a mental health professional has been shaped by a deep appreciation for people’s resilience and capacity for change. Before earning my graduate degree from Brooklyn College, I worked in restaurants, where I learned the importance of staying grounded, adaptable, and present in high-pressure environments. Since 2011, I have worked in mental health across inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting individuals with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. Through clinical, supervisory, and leadership roles, I gained a broad understanding of addiction treatment. Ultimately, I realized my greatest passion is the individual connection—helping people understand themselves, heal, and create meaningful change. I have certificates in Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

About Therapy

I believe meaningful change begins with understanding, not judgment. I provide a confidential and discreet space where high-achieving adults can step out of the role of always having to manage everything and speak openly about what is happening beneath the surface. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to your goals, whether you want to stop, cut back, better understand your substance use, or support someone you love.
