I have been working with professionals to overcome obstacles and challenges that are getting in the way of making desired progress in their personal and professional lives for a number of years.

The first thing I like to make clear when coaching my client is that there is no substitute for hard work. I identify hard work as anything that challenges an individual, team or business, however big or small, and the willingness to put forth effort to overcome and resolve said challenges. My coaching helps motivate clients to make critical changes by identifying cognitive distortions that cause performance hindrances like fear, avoidance, and an inner critic that halts us from taking the necessary steps to make progress and achieve goals.

I’m here to support you in achieving your goals and making meaningful next steps. My mission is to ensure you feel seen, heard, and understood every step of the way. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is the cornerstone of our success together.

With a collaborative, directive approach, I’ll work alongside you to help you identify what feeling like your best self looks like. We will dig deep to uncover what might be feeling like it is holding you back, but to also understand the great parts of you and your achievements that have gotten you where you are. We all have strengths and, what I like to call, beautiful limitations. By understanding them both and how they work together, we can then start to feel empowered to say “Yes” to the things that are right for us and “No” to what doesn’t suit us.

I often see individuals getting stuck in their professional and personal lives and they do not know what direction to take next steps in. This can happen because the vision, strategy and plan are overlooked and there is an untimely leap to hyper-focusing on the end result. We are then left feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. Achieving our end goals without taking all of the necessary steps in between can seem like an impossible feat, leaving clients feeling paralyzed in taking first critical steps. I help clients shift focus to more tangible goals that are within their control and to build the necessary path toward the end goal of what they really want. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and ICF Certified Professional and Executive Coach. I hold an undergraduate degree from Long Island University in Psychology,  a Master of Social Work degree from New York University, both with honors, and achieved certification for Professional and Executive Coaching from the World Coach Institute. I have close to a decade of experience in infrastructure, middle office and client facing positions at corporate investment banking firms. During my successful career in the finance industry, I found that the most fulfilling parts of my work were my interactions with people and decided to pursue my original dream of becoming a psychotherapist and coach. My post graduate training includes but is not limited to — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR part I & II from the Laurel Parnell Institute, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Theory for Couples Therapy, Radical Acceptance.
