About me
I'm a dedicated psychotherapist who's passionate about helping folks navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships, and working with LGBTQ individuals.
No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward. As a psychotherapist, I've worked with diverse populations across New York City. I currently specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges—whether in dating, friendships, or family dynamics—as well as LGBTQ individuals. Additionally, I work with clients in active recovery from substance use.
My approach is honest, collaborative, light-hearted (when needed), and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based methods like CBT and DBT with a strength-based and insight-oriented perspective to help you develop personalized strategies for lasting change. I also incorporate Attachment Theory to help with relationship issues.
