ABOUT

I am a licensed mental health clinician in NYC here to guide you on your journey towards growth & healing.  As a therapist, I believe in creating a safe and empathetic space where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment.  I work with many individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, body image disturbances, self-esteem, trauma, as well as just navigating the complexities in our unpredictable world.  I recognize each person is striving to do their best and I understand that it’s not an easy journey.
Together, we address immediate as well as long standing concerns.   My goal is to strike a balance between challenging you to grow and providing a supportive environment where you feel comfortable exploring and confronting your emotions with compassion and understanding.
We’ll delve into underlying influences while also equipping you with practical skills to cope & thrive.  Ultimately, my aim is to empower you to take control of your life and make positive changes.  Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I'm honored to walk alongside you every step of the way. 

My Approaches

  • There is no single solution or method that works for everyone. Sessions with each client look different because each client comes in with their own experience, challenges, goals, & own needs.

    There is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy. I utilize evidence-based practices tweaked & tailored to fit your specific circumstance. Each person’s journey is unique and we will find the most effective strategies for you.

  • Treating through a trauma-informed lens means being sensitive & educated about the impact of trauma on an individual’s life that can be complex & multifaceted.

    Many people experience some form of trauma at some point in their life. Often, the impact can go unnoticed or misunderstood. It can feel incredibly limiting & isolating. Trauma can show up in our emotions, thoughts, behaviors & our interpersonal relationships.

    I operate on the basis that everyone has coped in the best way they knew how at that given time. We will work together to recognize the lasting impact of your trauma, clarifying your own intention, while utilizing self-compassion & resiliency.

  • I integrate a top-down & bottom-up approach to therapy. Top-down focuses on cognitive & emotional processing. I offer practical tools to help you cope with daily stressors, while engaging in cognitive restructuring. Bottom-up focuses on the root causes & seeks to restore nervous system regulation. By integrating the two approaches, clients get a comprehensive & holistic approach to therapy.

Never been to therapy before?

I am so happy you are here! It's common for people to hesitate before starting therapy, often due to uncertainty about what to expect or even some apprehension about opening up. Sometimes, this hesitation can lead individuals to delay seeking help until they're in crisis.

Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome here…

Here, you're in a space where it's okay to not have all the answers, where it's okay to feel vulnerable, and where it's okay to take things one step at a time. Therapy isn't about having everything figured out from the start; it's about exploring, understanding, and growing together.

I'm here to support you, whether you want to dive deep into your thoughts, emotions or childhood influences or if you want to take small steps forward. Your well-being is important, and I'm committed to working with you at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering for you.
