Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, so I encourage you to trust your gut as you seek. I have worked with people across the lifespan dealing with life changes, mood and behavioral issues, relationship difficulties, complex trauma, and more. People move at different paces of change in therapy, and I will walk or jog with you as a compassionate, relatable, and realistic guide, working from your strengths as a platform of change. Sometimes therapy is hard and sometimes it feels great. You may laugh, cry, reconsider life choices, and more. We'll work through it all, and you will emerge feeling like a clearer version of yourself.

I'm a psychotherapist trained in creative methods to help move you toward your therapeutic goals. I am also pursuing advanced certification in EMDR therapy, an evidence based, intensive therapeutic intervention addressing nearly every clinical issue from anxiety to complex trauma. I am relationally focused, meaning my job is to attune to you and your needs.

Sometimes even a short interaction can let you know if it could be a fit. I am available for a 15 minute phone intro/consultation so you can get a better sense of our work together. Let's talk so you can decide for yourself. I look forward to hearing from you. You can send an email to set up a call.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • White Plains, NY


I have a particular passion for working with men, especially guys in their 20s and 30s. A lot of the young men I see are dealing with something the research is only now catching up to — an erosion of in-person connection, a sense of drift, and a shortage of spaces where they can actually say what's going on. I'm genuinely excited and motivated by this work because I believe this generation of men needs — and deserves — real support. That said, I also welcome clients navigating anxiety, discouragement, depression, workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and life transitions of all kinds.

I'm a Brooklyn-bred Psychotherapist and earned my LCSW in 2009. I previously worked in the corporate world, and understand pressure, ambition, career transitions, and what it feels like when the thing you've built your identity around stops fitting. Since becoming a therapist, I've worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, substance abuse treatment, and psych rehab before settling into a private practice where I'm focused on the work I care most about.
