Great to meet you!

I’m a therapist who gradated with my Masters degree from Fordham University, who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. I provide a calm, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment. I specialize in supporting adults and couples managing medical conditions, health-related stress, or major life adjustments. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you gain clarity, build confidence, and find new ways to navigate life’s challenges.

My approach to therapy

My greatest strength is creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel heard and supported. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative — together, we identify goals and use practical tools that foster real change.

What you can expect from me

The first session is really about getting to know you and you to get to know me. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, what you’d like to work on, and I’ll explain how therapy works and answer any questions. It’s a chance to see if we’re a good fit and to begin building trust together.
