I am a holistic, person-centered, strengths-oriented, solution-focused provider who recognizes that multiple elements affect an individual over time. My Bachelor degree is in Psychology and my Master degree is in Social Work with experience in populations having traumatic brain injuries, severe mental health needs, and addiction challenges, among other factors. I am community oriented and enjoy meeting each person where they are, to achieve their goals, long-term.

There's a kind of exhaustion that builds so gradually you stop recognizing it as exhaustion. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, family stress, and life transitions that can feel impossible to face alone, including infertility and the grief and uncertainty that often come with it. I also specialize in supporting parents of children with mental health or behavioral challenges, because the people trying hardest to help their kids often need real support too.

I work with high-functioning women — professionals, caregivers, high-achievers, first-generation successes — who've spent years being the strong one, the reliable one, the one everyone else leans on. You don't have to be in crisis to belong here; many of the women I work with are functioning exceptionally well by every external measure, which is exactly why the internal cost so often goes unseen, even by themselves. I understand that perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, difficulty resting, and over-responsibility for other people's feelings aren't individual defects — they're adaptive responses to systems that taught you your worth was conditional on your output. If you've been in therapy before and left feeling like the goal was to help you cope with your life rather than question the parts of it that aren't working, I offer something different. I'm not here to help you perform wellness more efficiently. I'm here to help you gain insight into what shaped you.

I am a Psychologist and New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience providing therapy across higher education, community mental health, private practice, and training settings.

Maybe you're going through a difficult transition or simply want a space where you can talk openly without feeling judged.
