Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual therapy in New York and Connecticut. I work with adults, couples, parents, and young people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. I aim to create a supportive space where clients can better understand themselves and make meaningful changes.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw from cognitive behavioral, relational, and strength-based approaches to help clients understand patterns, build coping skills, and feel more confident managing challenges in their daily lives.

Therapy is tailored to each person or couple, and we move at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope will change. We will discuss your goals, answer questions, and begin to understand how we might work together.

You do not need to prepare anything ahead of time. The first session is simply a starting point.
