Great to meet you!

I am an Experienced Educator & Therapist licensed in NY and Florida. Whether you're a teen trying to make sense of big emotions, or an adult feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I’m here to help. I’ll guide you in understanding how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected — and how gaining awareness can shift the way you experience life.

Together, we’ll build a personalized set of tools and coping strategies that you can use every day. My approach combines the structure of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the calming, grounding practices of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), creating space for growth, healing, and lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I help clients develop a clearer understanding of their emotions — not just identifying what they’re feeling, but exploring why those feelings arise. Through a combination of traditional talk therapy, meditation, and relaxation techniques, I support individuals under stress, including both amateur and professional athletes. My approach encourages acceptance over resistance, helping clients stay present and become more at ease with their thoughts and emotions.

What you can expect from me

I offer a warm, caring zen like approach to helping my patients learn tools to help them manage the stressors and challenges of life. My goal is to help all people reach their fullest potential. To do so, we will take a look at your negative thought patterns. We will also explore how to navigate your thoughts and feelings rather than resist them. I have a vartiety of holistic tools to help clients and a passion for helping others find their true value in life.
