My journey to becoming a therapist was driven by hope and unwavering intention to support individuals navigating life’s challenges. In my practice, I take a client-centered approach, grounded in understanding the unique interplay between individuals and their environments. I view each person holistically, recognizing the profound connection between the physical and mental well-being. Using mindfulness and behavioral techniques, I help clients tap into this synergy to find balance and resilience.

**Only taking individual clients now. No couples till the fall.

Hi, I am a Licensed, Board-Certified Therapist providing psychotherapy services to clients in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Virginia. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship challenges, and a wide range of other mental health concerns.

As a member of and advocate for the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, I strive to provide affirming, culturally responsive, and inclusive care. I am also a certified Gottman Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (7P's) Couples Workshop Leader, helping couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and build healthier relationships.

In addition to providing therapy, I offer professional clinical supervision for Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor Limited Permit (LMHC-LP) professionals, supporting their growth and development in clinical practice.

Believing you are the expert in your life my hope is to act as a beacon of light on a path that sometimes goes dark.
