Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed psychotherapist in New York and Florida, offering individual therapy for adults and young adults who want to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful changes in their lives.

My work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach—I help you uncover the deeper patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape how you think, feel, and relate today. When you can see these patterns clearly, you gain the power to shift them.

I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and challenge the thoughts that keep you stuck in self-doubt, anxiety, or old stories that no longer serve you. Together, we work toward practical, lasting change.

If you’re ready for therapy that blends insight with real-world tools and a space where your experiences are taken seriously, I’d be so glad to work with you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth, honesty, and directness. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m fully present with them. I'm engaged, curious, and willing to ask the questions that open doors to deeper understanding. I bring a blend of insight, intuition, humor, and steadiness into the room, creating a space where you can feel both supported and challenged in meaningful ways.

I genuinely love this work and consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they make sense of their experiences and move toward the lives they want. My style is interactive and collaborative; I don’t just listen, I help you uncover the patterns, beliefs, and emotional barriers that may be getting in the way.

Above all, my goal is to offer an environment where you feel safe enough to explore what’s holding you back and empowered enough to imagine something different. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take the next step.

What you can expect from me

My role is to help you gain meaningful insight into the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to understand the deeper emotions and patterns that may be getting in the way of the life you want.

My style is supportive, responsive, and free of judgment. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust, openness, and emotional safety, one where you can express yourself honestly and begin to make sense of your experiences.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process designed to help you feel seen, understood, and capable of change. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you move forward.
