Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State providing online psychotherapy to adults seeking lasting change. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, my goal is to help you move beyond symptom management toward deeper healing and self-understanding.

My approach to therapy

My approach combines evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with trauma-informed and attachment-focused care. I believe our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system are deeply connected. Together, we will explore not only what is happening in your life, but also why these patterns developed and how you can begin creating new ones.

What you can expect from me

I work with people from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds and strive to provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Every person's story is unique, and therapy should reflect that.

At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens through connection. A trusting therapeutic relationship creates the foundation for insight, resilience, and meaningful growth. Rather than telling you what to do, I work alongside you to help you develop the awareness, skills, and confidence to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and emotional balance.

If you're looking for a therapist who combines practical tools with compassionate understanding while helping you uncover the deeper roots of your struggles, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
