Growing up just outside of New York City, I was exposed to many different walks of life and personalities. From an early age, I felt a deep compassion for others and a curiosity about the human experience, which naturally led me to study the field of psychology. 

​

I first pursued a career in the entertainment industry, but quickly realized I was being called to a field of service. I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology at CUNY Baruch, followed by a master’s in social work from Hunter College’s Silberman School of Social Work. After completing my education, I relocated to sunny San Diego. As a lifelong surfer and lover of the ocean, I feel grateful to have found my final landing place here.

 

In my work as a therapist, I’ve supported individuals facing substance use challenges, complex trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relational struggles. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the power of the healing relationship and showed me how compassion and presence can transform the human psyche.

 

Working with clients is a privilege I hold with great respect. I’ve devoted myself to developing the art of empathetic listening, learning a range of evidence-based treatment modalities, and cultivating a safe and supportive space for healing. Most importantly, I look forward to hearing your story and walking with you on the path toward healing, understanding, and joy.
