Let's Connect (347) 970-5172
We are going through unprecedented challenges, and reaching out for help is the first step toward feeling better. My clients value my non judgmental approach to care, whether it is exploring relationships with substances, emotions, other people, or the self. Co-dependence, anxiety, depression, identity, sober curious – more than just search terms and buzzwords, these are the main struggles my clients share. Whether it is exploring how trauma lives on in current relationships, identifying better ways to manage drinking post-pandemic, or setting boundaries with family around changes in identity, I can help.
In our work together, you’ll learn to create space for yourself and steer your own life. I am an active participant in sessions - I ask questions, offer observations, and make notes of places to return for deeper exploration. You will feel empowered in your ability to set boundaries, be comfortable with vulnerability, and grow your confidence.
Redefine your relationships with deep connections that shape your life. Gain clarity in your emotional world, learn tools to better manage feelings, and start designing a life you want. Make the call, send the email, the first step is the hardest, but therapy is a gift of infinite self care!
