About this provider

Clients I Work With

I provide psychotherapy to women across New York State via telehealth who are looking to find relief from anxiety, burnout, stress, depression, relationship problems, trauma wounds, or life transitions. Women who have jumped through hoops to be present for others, while denying themselves. Women who stay up late at night having virtual coffee with their thoughts, when all they crave is mental peace. Women whose own cups have been dried up with cobwebs for years, while they have tirelessly poured into everyone else's. I understand the pressure of being the strong one, the caretaker, the one who holds it all together. I want you to know that I see you.

Approach

My approach is eclectic by design. I shape the work around the person in front of me, depending on the need at that moment. I blend evidence-based clinical methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, schema therapy, motivational interviewing, parts work and NARM, along with nervous system regulation, breathwork, and sound therapy. Anxiety, depression, and uncertainty grow where pressure builds, and I help women untangle how those pieces intersect. We live in a world that tells you that you must do it all at the expense of your wellbeing. That is unrealistic and unfair. Congratulations on taking the first step in coming home to you. I am glad that you're here.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I am a born-and-raised New Yorker, so I understand the challenges of living in New York City. Growing up in a difficult environment and witnessing how those experiences shaped the women and families around me deeply informed the work I do today. My passion has always been to partner with women who are ready to give themselves permission to prioritize their needs, trust their voice, and live more fully as themselves. It may sound like a cliché, but the truth is that women have been taught to silence their needs for far too long. That is where I come in. Therapy with me is not about remaining comfortable or staying where you are. I will challenge you to move beyond familiar patterns and examine the limiting beliefs you hold about yourself and the world around you. At the same time, I will provide a steady, supportive space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, take meaningful risks, and create lasting change. If my approach resonates with you, we may be the right fit for one another, and it would be my privilege to partner with you.

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 helping you connect with yourself on a deeper level.
