Something uncomfortable brought you here. You may have tried to move forward and found that something still lingers. You understand what’s going on, but it hasn’t shifted in a meaningful way. My clients come ready to do real work. I meet each person as a whole person, not as a diagnosis or as a presenting problem. I work primarily with adults and young adults, using EMDR alongside CBT and solution-focused and person-centered approaches that support real change. Our focus is on what hasn’t moved and why, so you’re not just managing symptoms but creating genuine, lasting movement forward. If you have done the talking and still do not feel free, I would love to connect.

I became a clinician because I firmly believe that my purpose in life is to help others heal through compassionate and empathic therapy. I hope we can start your healing process as soon as you are ready.

I’m a graduate of Columbia University’s School of Social Work and I have been working in community mental health for more than a decade.

I specialize in helping women, millennials and high achievers with:

• Life Transitions: marriage, breakups, relationships, career changes, emerging adulthood, depression, anxiety
• Perinatal Health: depression, anxiety, adapting to new roles, IVF, infertility, body image & change
• High Achieving: perfectionism, work/life balance, imposter syndrome, competitiveness

I work from a strength based perspective to provide solution-focused counseling for a range of life issues. By focusing on needs and goals we begin to uncover strengths and resources to help create a sustainable future.

When you feel the need to connect with a professional in order to address any issues or begin building a bridge to your next life goal, please reach out.

I believe in honesty, transparency and possibility. Believe that you can. Believe in yourself and that change will happen. You’ll see what you’re capable of. Let’s connect. I’m so glad to be a part of your journey.

Does adulting or thinking about the future make you second guess yourself? Having challenges with postpartum or not feeling like yourself? Close to graduating? Going through a transition or struggling with anxiety, overthinking, low self-esteem, life stressors? Let's talk about it!

I hope to help you find your style of adjusting, coping, and healing! This is through a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process life transitions and stressors.
