Are you a high-achiever in your 20s or 30s struggling with high stress, low self-worth, and emotional exhaustion? Maybe you’re also a first-time therapy-goer, nervous to start because you’ve believed your anxiety and perfectionism have fueled your success. Despite this belief, you’re tired of being tired, pushing yourself to exceed work and others’ expectations while neglecting your own needs. You are craving security in relationships, confidence in yourself, and a life that feels freer, more flexible, and truly fulfilling. I help clients see that addressing anxiety actually supports your growth rather than threatens your success.

I use a blend of therapeutic techniques to help you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that fuel your anxiety, low self-worth, and perfectionism. Together, we’ll recognize your negative thought loops and learn how to interrupt spirals before they take over. My goal is to help you build insight and develop practical tools for lasting change.

I know starting therapy can feel scary, and finding the right therapist in NYC feels overwhelming. I'm here to sit in the discomfort with you. Therapy is your space to slow down, sort through what’s on your mind, and find peace. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you as you take that first step toward feeling clearer and more connected.

I specialize in working with adults who have never been to therapy, often because they believe their anxiety and perfectionism fuel their success and fear they'll achieve less if they address it. I will help you learn that addressing your struggles will actually support not threaten your goals. Together you'll develop skills, feel validated, and move toward a more fulfilling, freeing life.
