Therapy is a space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and sharing openly.

My approach is interactive and collaborative, and I understand that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will work through current life stressors, build on your strengths, and find tools that fit your individual needs. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges while feeling more confident, connected, and authentic.

Therapist

Life is hard- therapy doesn't have to be! I work hard to create a judgement-free and open space where we work to build deep trust. Compassion, empathy, and sense of humor are an integral part of my practice. I am patient and recognize that relationships are built over time and will work to earn your trust: not expect or demand it. This is the basis on which I've built strong relationships with my long-term clients.

I attended NYU for grad school and then worked with people with chronic homelessness and severe mental illnesses. After that, I transitioned to work in community mental health with families and children with a concentration in trauma. For the last ten years, I've worked full-time with college and grad students so have a specialty working with young adults. When I'm not serving clients, you can find me at the gym, fostering kittens, or on the racetrack trying to beat my last lap.
