Her practice spans child welfare, trauma therapy, and caregiver support, reflecting the community’s layered needs. Sessions often focus on building coping strategies or navigating systems many find opaque.

The office sits on Madison Avenue between 115th and 116th Streets, close to transit and local clinics. A straightforward walk-up entrance marks the spot. Clients arrive for grief counseling, family mediation, even brief risk assessments when life feels unsteady. Services are approached case by case; there’s no set menu.
