Welcome! I am a mother, former school social worker, reiki master, artist, and an empath with almost a decade of clinical experience. I help anxious people transform their lives, empower themselves, and gain unstoppable confidence. I specialize in helping you navigate big life transitions, whether that be in school, relationships, career, new parenthood, or simply wanting clarity on what your next move is. You've come to the right place.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with nine years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My primary focus has been helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and low self-esteem. I aspire to empower my clients while also building a safe space for self-exploration and growth. It is truly a privilege to be a part of the healing journey and helping clients find freedom from distressing symptoms.
Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!
Therapy is a shared experience to explore past and present aspects of your life to help you grow and thrive, becoming the best version of yourself. I value building a safe meaningful connection to allow that work to be done.
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.
True healing isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about addressing the whole person.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that lasting stability and happiness require working on three levels: your physical experience, your emotional patterns, and your spiritual wellbeing. When all three are addressed together, real change becomes possible.
I work with clients to identify what's getting in the way of the life they want — and build the tools, insight, and coping strategies to actually get there.
