Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, addiction, or navigating gender dysphoria, my goal is to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and empowered. With advanced training in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy from New York University, I focus on evidence-based treatments tailored to your unique needs, combining supportive psychotherapy with reframing thoughts and building positive coping skills. Together, we'll work to reduce feelings of stigma, create meaningful progress, and restore hope.

I've worked with clients from all walks of life, including the LGBTQ+ community, adolescents with eating disorders, individuals pursuing hormone replacement therapy or gender-affirming surgery, and adults managing complex conditions like addiction or trauma. No matter where you are in your life, you deserve to feel better and live more fully.
Seeking care can feel overwhelming, but I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where your questions are answered, your goals are prioritized, and your progress is celebrated. Let's work together to help you overcome life's challenges, improve your quality of life, and move closer to the person you want to be. Hope is always within reach.
