I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.
Sometimes life invites us to pause. You might feel the weight of high expectations, catch yourself saying yes when you mean no, notice the restless hum of a mind that won’t settle, or keep moving so fast you never give yourself a moment to slow down. Maybe you notice old patterns such as people pleasing, putting work first, getting caught in draining relationships, using habits or substances to numb out, or wrestling with the restlessness of ADHD. You may even sense that something in your life is ready for a shift, even if you’re not yet sure what it will look like.
Before becoming a therapist I spent years in the fast-paced corporate world of New York City advertising. Stepping away from that hustle and into the work of healing continues to shape how I sit with others.
I am a LCSW with a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University, with five years in private practice and over a decade in the integrative wellness world. I'm also 200-hour yoga teacher certified and a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy facilitator in IRB approved clinical trials. Training in these areas, along with years of yoga and mindfulness practice, has deepened my understanding that mind, body, and spirit are not separate, but part of one whole.
I work with anxious, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults, and with people navigating complex trauma, relationship struggles, addiction, career changes, and other significant life transitions. Together we listen beneath the noise. We invite the body to speak, the mind to soften, and the heart and spirit to remember its belonging until what you discover is not something to chase, but the quiet presence of the Self you have always been.
