Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed therapist in New York and New Jersey with over four years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I’ve had the privilege of supporting people from many different backgrounds and life experiences. My style is warm, direct, and supportive. I believe in helping clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and make meaningful changes while feeling heard and supported along the way.

My approach to therapy

I practice from a dynamic, relational lens to help you bridge your past and present to better understand yourself and your patterns. I bring in coping tools as needed to facilitate management of high-intensity emotions.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will spend time getting to know one another and discussing what brought you to therapy. I will ask about your personal history, current concerns, and goals for treatment to better understand your experiences and needs. I will also share more about my therapeutic approach, explain what to expect from the therapy process, and answer any questions you may have. Together, we will begin developing a plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward change.
