Therapist

When anxiety, grief, or big life changes start to feel overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to turn. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re going through, and identify small, doable steps toward relief. I work especially with adults and seniors facing depression, panic, trauma, chronic conditions, relationship stress, or end-of-life concerns, and I provide a calm, affirming space where all of your feelings are welcome.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi there! I use therapy to help adults reconnect themselves to their own innate drive to heal

I have a wide range of experience that encompasses counseling to running a counseling program. I've completed advance training in numerous counseling theories and am a CBT trainer at a behavioral health clinic. This experience allows me to adapt evidence based interventions to fit your personality and treatment goals. But that is not why you will get better in therapy; that is due to your own innate drive to heal.

Therapist

I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, panic, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Whether you've been feeling overwhelmed for years or recently found yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, we'll work together to understand what's keeping the cycle going and build practical skills to help you move forward.

As a licensed clinical social worker with experience in university mental health, I've supported adults facing academic, career, and personal challenges. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical, giving you a place to feel understood while also helping you develop skills you can use in everyday life.

Psychologist

I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.
