I’m a warm, direct, and down-to-earth therapist with over seven years of clinical experience. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood and comfortable being yourself. I have a deep connection to the Jewish community and a particular interest in helping people navigate faith, culture, and identity, while welcoming clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to meet you where you are and create a space where you can be honest, supported, and heard.

I’m a therapist with 29 years of experience. I believe therapy can make a real difference when clients commit to the process. It isn’t easy, but I’ve seen it help people face challenges, heal, and grow into their best selves. If you're struggling with coping, outlook, motivation, attitude, and focus, we may be a good fit. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment to major life changes related to career, relationships, family, or loss. I also specialize in working with clients diagnosed with chronic or life-limiting illnesses. I look forward to working with you and walking beside you on this journey.
