Psychotherapy for individuals.
Psychotherapy for New Yorkers who want to claim their inner voice.
In sessions with me, all parts of you are welcome.
Most of my clients come to me with some form of anxiety, often about work, family, or relationships. Parts of them may feel lost, under pressure, overly responsible, or “stuck” thinking about the past or worrying about the future. While stress is a normal response to life’s challenges, persistent thoughts and feelings that cloud self-image and interfere with goals can be worthwhile to address in therapy. In treatment, I guide clients to identify what keeps them experiencing the same unsatisfying outcomes and help them get closer to living a life that’s more authentically aligned with who they are.
I’m a licensed and board-certified psychotherapist, art therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As a highly observant clinician, I reflect meaningful connections while clients access the ways they truly think and feel. In a warm, safe environment, we can explore strengths, fears, hesitations, and gradually process the pain from past experiences.
Integrating personal history, although confounding at times, creates room for emotional needs and desires to surface. As these discoveries unveil, we’ll treat them with gentleness, dignity, and individually-tailored plans. It’s a joy to see clients naturally build insight and begin trusting themselves with confidence as they allow their intuition to take the lead— a significant sign of healing.
About my practice
Leading with continuity assures clients they never have to start over, so I keep track of the details and prioritize building on goals with compassion and consistency. Currently, my practice is all online via Telehealth. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety and attachment trauma, however I welcome people coping with a variety of challenges, including:
depression
mood disorders
grief & loss
life transitions
extreme self criticism
perfectionism
complex relationships
effects of trauma
Together we’ll be curious about your go-to responses and move toward secure footing so you’ll have clarity and flexibility in the way you make choices. Strong relationships nurture long-term growth, so we’ll build ours first.
My background
I’ve been in private practice since 2020 and have 8+ years of experience working in NYC's top hospitals, including the inpatient psychiatry program 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.
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.
Services

Intake sessions are 1 hour.
I’ll leave time at the end to check in and see how we both feel about moving forward.

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.
