Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and have been in practice for over 10 years. I became a therapist because I know firsthand how helpful it can be to have a dedicated time and space to focus on our emotional well-being. Talking to an unbiased party can help us feel supported, heard, and see things from a new perspective. Most importantly, therapy offers a space to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors without judgment.

I recognize how challenging it can be to find the time and energy to start therapy and to sort through profiles to find the right fit. There are many providers, especially in New York, so it can feel a little daunting! What I will say is that no matter your background and no matter your concerns, I will be invested in you and your goals.

Some of my areas of interest include perinatal and postpartum mental health (I am a parent myself!), LGBTQ+ mental health, relationships (romantic or otherwise), transitions including career/school, anxiety, and depression.

Please free to schedule a consultation to see if we "click"!

My approach to therapy

You know yourself best, but I may be able to help you see patterns or help you explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related.

What you can expect from me

I strive to provide a safe, warm environment in which you can share openly and honestly. I want you to feel safe when speaking with me.
