I focus on a person-centered, strengths-based approach, utilizing techniques from a variety of evidence-based modalities.
Life can present challenges and difficulties working through a variety of transitions, decisions, relationships and traumas. Anxiety and depression is more prevalent now than ever. Whether it is a pattern of difficult relationships, self doubt and low self esteem, self medicating or a dissatisfaction with life circumstances, change and healing is possible. I believe that therapy is a collaborative experience and I work with each client to find a style that works best for them. I do more than just listen. I make observations, offer feedback and engage actively in sessions.

In my approach to therapy, I am a person-centered cognitive behavior therapist, which means I help you connect the dots between your thoughts and feelings and the way you show up in relationships.
I specialize in working with young adults who are trying to find their place in the world. Figuring out “adulting” can be stressful. You may feel full of uncertainty and self-doubt, but I can empower you through all of these very normal stages of self-exploration. I work with individuals who are seeking a nurturing presence and who are up for the challenge of being encouraged toward growth and change. Once upon a time, I planned to work in veterinary care services, and I am still an animal-lover. Furry friends are very much welcome to join our virtual sessions!

I strongly believe in a person centered, trauma informed approach and I will work with you to find the modality or modalities that work best and feel safe for you.
Life is complicated, and at times, it can feel overwhelming, lonely, or unfulfilling. Pain, grief, hopelessness, past traumas and difficult relationships can seem like too much to bear. While opening up to healing can be daunting and feel vulnerable, it is possible to open up new space to follow a more meaningful, connected path. My 10+ years of experience as a social worker and a clinician in NYC has lead me to believe that healing is possible for everyone. There is help. You don’t have to do it alone. As a therapist and a human I work from a place of openness, curiosity, compassion and introspection.

My practice is to assist clients in finding the root issues and bringing it to surface to allow the client to see other sides of the situation to make a healthier choice for them. I work with clients to understand all parts of them and accept themselves. My practice is a judgement-free environment as this will provide clients with a safe place to be honest and not afraid to expose who they are. I use humor to help clients feel at ease and directness to provide clear responses to aid in allowing clients to go deep within their issues.

My most-used approach is psychodynamic psychotherapy, coupled with the principles of person-centered therapy.
Therapy is an opportunity to know ourselves better. Through my work with clients, I tailor my approach to meet each client where they are. Through empathy and collaboration, I help empower my clients to find the answers they are searching for. Henry David Thoreau wrote, "What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us." It is my goal to help my clients find "what lives within" them to help them live a more fulfilling life.
