Virtual & in-person • Brooklyn, NY


What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a constant state of survival mode? Overwhelmed by stress, emotionally drained, or just going through the motions of life? Reaching out for help takes courage, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. Taking the first steps toward therapy can feel overwhelming, I know, because I’ve been there too. My goal is to help you navigate this process by providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. I work primarily with young adults in their 20’s and 30’s who are navigating anxiety, trauma, family and relationship issues, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their experiences, and the reasons behind their emotions.
