I work with individuals who are seeking comfort and evidence based models to deal with their anxieties, life stressors, trauma, depression, family and relationship issues, and ADHD.

"Be easy. take your time. you are coming home to yourself.-Nayyirah Waheed.

Welcome and thank you for considering me for your therapist. I've been a working therapist for 10 years who sees individuals, couples, and families providing compassionate, individualized and informed support. My clients are working through issues ranging from grief & loss, attachment and other trauma, identity development, social/emotional stress, interpersonal or familial conflict, anxiety, family planning, marital counseling, systemic oppression and even just the impact of day-to-day stressors. Some clients come in with defined goals and many enter therapy just wanting to feel better.

Do you want to rekindle your love and passion, and most importantly understand how much you love your lives together?

Finding a therapist can be hard, especially when you are navigating through your life journey. It can become even more isolating when you are in between the Deaf and hearing worlds. As the only Deaf member in a family moving to the United States, I went on a long journey through self-discovery. Through firsthand experience, I faced challenges with communication and isolation while discovering my own identity as a Deaf person. This is how I learned to become a strong advocate for minorities.

As a psychotherapist and professional coach for over 25 years in NYC and Westchester, I work with families, couples and individuals to deal with the challenges, changes and crisis that occur in our lives when we least expect it.

My clients include women in transition with career and relationships as well as coping with anxiety, infertility and depression. I am also a certified Bereavement Counselor assisting those with parent, child and sibling loss.

You are looking for someone to tell you like it is, understands where you are coming from, and invest in your future success.
