I received my Masters of Social Work from Fordham University in NYC. I then moved to Northern Virginia where I received my general license (LMSW) and began practicing. The majority of my experience is at Residential (RTC), Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). At these higher level of cares, I’ve treated adolescents with serve anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders and other co-occurring disorders. I use a strength based, person-centered approach while providing a non-judgmental safe space for youth. I help youth build their confidence and feel in control of their emotional well-being. My passion is working with children and adolescents to help them find their most authentic selves while navigating life in their every day worlds.
