Psychotherapy for individuals.
Psychotherapy for New Yorkers who want to claim their inner voice.
About me and my practice
I’m a licensed and board-certified psychotherapist, art therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As a highly observant clinician, I’ll reflect meaningful connections while you access the ways you truly think and feel. In a warm, safe environment, we’ll explore your strengths, fears, desires, and gradually process the pain from past experiences so you have more freedom in the way you make choices.
I lead with compassion and continuity so you’ll never have to start over. Currently, my practice is all online via Telehealth. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety and attachment issues, however I welcome people coping with a variety of challenges, including depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, extreme self criticism, complex relationships, life transitions, grief and loss, and the effects of childhood trauma.
In sessions with me, all parts of you are welcome.
Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety about work, family, or feeling lost in a particular relationship. Parts of you may feel under pressure, overly responsible, or that it’s hard to find and assert your own voice. While self-doubt is a normal response to life’s challenges, persistent thoughts and feelings that cloud self-confidence are worth exploring in therapy. In treatment, I’ll help you identify what keeps you feeling “stuck” and help you get closer to living a life that’s more authentically aligned with who you are.
While integrating your personal story, we can expect emotional needs to surface. As these discoveries unveil, we’ll treat them with gentleness, dignity, and individually-tailored, actionable plans. It’s a joy to witness clients naturally build insight and begin trusting themselves with greater ease as they allow their intuition to take the lead— a telltale sign that the healing process is working.
Treatment beyond the individual
In therapy, no one size fits all. I’m committed to learning about the ways others culturally identify and try to be aware of my social location, especially within systems of relative power. Race, gender expression, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity are political realities that impact lives both inside and outside treatment. I challenge myself to examine oppressive institutions and my position within them, as individual lives are inextricably shaped by larger forces.
Before entering private practice, I worked in some of NYC's top behavioral health programs, including the inpatient psychiatry department at Mount Sinai Hospital. The demands of working in acute care helped me to develop my own clinical model: treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. Your progress, not your diagnosis, are the center of our process.

Art Therapy
Art therapy can powerfully shape difficult-to-name experiences. At times, I incorporate art-making once a rhythm in session is established, to supplement verbal reflection.
Over time, your visual vocabulary may be something we naturally reference in conversation, like a personal language.

Fees & Insurance
Like many mental health professionals, I’m not in-network with insurance providers. I take seriously the financial commitment of therapy and offer sliding scale rates for those who need it. I invite the conversation around fee to be an open one, recognizing that strong treatment allies with a fee that feels both invested and sustainable. I’ll provide a monthly receipt which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
