Finding calm and clarity when your mind won’t slow down is possible. I can guide the way. We have more influence over our thoughts than we realize. In our work, you’ll learn to approach your thinking more intentionally. As your thoughts change, you’ll start to notice changes in how you feel, the choices you make, and how you move through your life. I help clients slow things down, make sense of what’s been difficult, and address the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. This often includes working through anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma and past experiences. I also support women navigating life transitions, helping them feel more grounded and steady through change. My approach is thoughtful and practical, combining insight with tools you can use in your day-to-day life.

My clients are often navigating intense emotional experiences—grief, anxiety, depression, or the impact of major life transitions like divorce, career shifts, or the end of important relationships. Many carry unresolved pain from trauma, abandonment, or difficult family dynamics and are seeking more than just surface-level coping—they want clarity, healing, and meaningful change.

Are you struggling with anxiety or existential angst after a major life change? Have you recently graduated, moved to a new city, or been diagnosed with a health condition and feel groundless, stuck, or lost? Are you struggling to form deep connections due to confusion and low confidence about your identity and purpose? Well, you have come to the right place! I am a compassionate and genuine therapist that focuses on helping my clients with increasing insight, self-understanding, and meaning. I work well with individuals struggling with low self-esteem, unfulfilling relationships, life change, grief & loss, and meaning making.

*I can provide teletherapy if you are located in NYC or NYS* Going to college brings new life experiences and transitions with friends, family, partners, professors, and even with yourself. Navigating school, friends, social events, homework, clubs, teams, and getting enough sleep can be a lot to juggle. With all of these new changes, feelings of anxiety, depression, exhaustion, identity exploration, frustration, loneliness, and more are normal to have. As an LGBTQA+ affirming therapist, I have a deep commitment and passion for creating safe therapeutic spaces with individuals & couples from diverse backgrounds and identities. I support clients in diving deep into understanding the challenges they are facing, exploring pathways forward, while imagining and creating a life where they are not only surviving but thriving. By building a foundation of self-awareness and self-compassion, my clients are able to forge strong relationships with themselves and others, promoting positive mental health and resilience.

The students I work best with often share a desire to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they navigate college life, especially when their path doesn’t look like everyone else’s. I work with a wide range of college students including international students, first-generation college students, students from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds, as well as both traditional and nontraditional students. What they often have in common is that they’re carrying a lot, whether it's pressure to succeed, cultural or family expectations, feelings of anxiety, questions about identity and belonging, or simply the stress of trying to figure out who they are and what comes next. In our work together, we create space to explore these experiences without judgment. If you’re a student who’s juggling multiple roles, feeling out of place, or simply looking for support during a major life transition, you’re not alone and you don’t have to do it all on your own.
