My approach is grounded in the belief that therapy works best not by giving quick fixes, but by creating a space where we can slow down together and get curious about what's underneath the surface; your patterns, your pain, your hopes, and the parts of you that may have been left behind along the way.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


With a caring and nonjudgmental approach, I work with clients to help them achieve the deep satisfaction and joy missing from their lives. Many circumstances have brought you to the point where anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or frustration have made it difficult for you to live your best life. Together we embark on a journey that helps you to better understand yourself and then implement changes so that you are in charge again.


I also have extensive experience working with children, teens, and families. I can help bring the joy back to parenting your child (whether they are struggling with ADHD, OCD, school phobia or are on the spectrum) we can work together so that you feel empowered to provide the best support necessary


I also offer teletherapy sessions.
