Great to meet you!

I’m a New York–born therapist with over a decade of clinical experience supporting individuals navigating stress, trauma and life transitions. I work with people who often appear to have things “together” on the outside but feel emotionally overwhelmed and confused underneath.

My approach to therapy

I help clients understand patterns beneath the surface—how past experiences shape how we think, feel and respond in our present day. I help you build tools that support real and sustainable change.


I want therapy to feel accessible and relevant—particularly if you don't always feel seen or understood in traditional spaces.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to slow things down and understand what’s happening. We’ll talk through your current concerns, explore how you’re managing stress and identify what may be getting in your way. My goal is to help you understand yourself more clearly and develop ways to move through life with greater intention and emotional well-being.
