I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Zen + Zest Therapy in New York. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Ohio University and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University, one of the nation’s top-ranked programs for clinical social work. My professional training includes Crisis Intervention Certification, where I received intensive instruction in managing acute psychiatric and behavioral crises in high-risk settings. In addition to my clinical credentials, I am a Certified Aromatherapist and Reiki Master, integrating evidence-informed holistic practices into clinical therapy when appropriate. This combination of traditional and integrative training allows me to support clients through a whole-person, trauma-informed lens.
