I am an LCSW-C, an Orthodox Jewish mother of three, and a psychotherapist. I am a trauma-informed, integrative therapist who helps clients navigate anxiety, OCD, trauma, life transitions, grief, emotional regulation, marriage and relationships, and women’s mental health, including body image, self-esteem, parenting and motherhood, perinatal and postpartum experiences, and perimenopause.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, CPT, IFS, ACT, and somatic techniques, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with an emphasis on tangible progress, practical tools, and meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, structured, and empowering space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, expand their emotional toolbox, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and agency.

I see therapy as a space for connection, self-discovery, and becoming more grounded in who you are. After 10+ years in this field, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t have to be complicated or clinical - it can be honest, real, and human.

I’d like to consider myself a down-to-earth therapist who believes we often carry more strength, wisdom, and ability to heal and grow than we realize. I believe in caring for the whole person and exploring the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, including through movement, time in nature, and simply listening to what our bodies are telling us. My heart has always been in empowering people to navigate the different parts of themselves, understand their experiences, and feel more confident in who they are becoming. I want my clients to feel seen, supported, and free to simply be themselves.

My primary population focus is teenage girls and young women, supporting them through family and women’s issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, anger management. But everyone is welcome here, if you feel a good vibe and think i'm a good fit for you, reach out, i'd be happy to help.

My approach incorporates CBT, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

I bring compassion, honesty, good energy, and a genuine belief that growth doesn’t require you to become someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, embracing all the different parts of who you are, and discovering the strength and potential that have been there all along. I’ll meet you where you are, walk alongside you through the hard parts, and challenge you when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of ✨
