Clients I Work With

I work with women who are looking to find relief from the weight of anxiety, depression, complex post traumatic stress disorder, women who are in the middle of a major life transition, and women who sense that something feels off, but can't quite put their finger on the what. While my experience includes working with families and individuals of all backgrounds, my heart is truly in helping women rediscover their voices and reconnect with who they are at their core. The weight that so many women carry is incredibly heavy, and it often feels like you have to sacrifice your own well being just to keep everything else moving. I would love to help you find a sense of balance that finally gives you the space to breathe and the freedom to enjoy being yourself again.

Approach

My approach is eclectic by design. Whether it's intergenerational patterns or past wounds, I shape the work around the person in front of me. Anxiety and depression grow where pressure builds, and I help women untangle how those pieces intersect. We live in a world that tells us to do it all. Asking for help isn't a weakness. It's one of the bravest things you can do, and I'm glad you're here.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I am a born and raised New Yorker so I'm very familiar with the challenges of NYC living. I spent seventeen years in the legal field and eight as a stay at home mom, before shifting course to this beautiful field of helping. Growing up in a challenging environment has shaped a deep passion for working with women of all ages, who carry similar stories. My passion is in helping women find their voice so that they can finally be their true selves. I know it sounds like such a cliché, but the truth is that women have been taught to silence their needs for far too long, and that's where I come in. It's time for you to take up space with confidence. Therapy with me is not about comfort. I will challenge you to move past your comfort zone. I will also teach you how to challenge your limited beliefs about yourself and the world that you live in. And I will do it all while providing a holding environment where you feel safe. My approach is not for everyone, but if it resonates with you, then we are the fit that we're both seeking and it'll be my pleasure to help you on this journey.

More About My Practice

I am also a holistic practitioner and integrate sound therapy into sessions when it aligns with your treatment goals. I believe that integrating body work is essential to help you connect with yourself on a deeper level.
