Great to meet you!

Starting to build my practice has been energizing, and I want to bring that same energy to the people I work with. I believe every client should feel like an active partner in their care, not a passive recipient of it. I work with people managing anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and healing happens when we build a plan together instead of me simply telling you what to do. I am based in New York and understand how demanding daily life and work can feel, which is why I care about making care approachable and doable. My goal is to help you feel more like yourself again, one step at a time.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative. I like to understand what matters most to you first, then build a plan for anxiety, depression, or PTSD that fits your life rather than a one size fits all template. I want you to feel empowered in your own care, with steady support as we work through challenges together.

What you can expect from me

Expect a conversation, not an interrogation. We will talk through what brought you in, whether that is anxiety, depression, PTSD, or something else entirely, and start shaping a plan together. I want you to leave feeling heard, with a clear sense of next steps and a sense that we are partnering in your care.
