(March '26 - Accepting two new clients this month... please reach out!) Life is all about balance. At times, finding that balance can feel overwhelming. My training and personal passion for helping others makes me an ideal therapist for individuals in need of a readjustment. Clients appreciate my down-to-earth point of view and ability to provide both encouragement and reality. Whether you are managing symptoms of anxiety and depression, life challenges like grief, divorce, infertility, relational issues, or other stressors, together we'll create and execute a plan to regain balance and move you toward a joyful life.
I completed my clinical training at Columbia University, where I earned both an MA and EdM in psychological counseling. I have lived all over the country, though have a special affinity for my current home here in NYC. I am passionate about helping my fellow New Yorkers find their balance and achieve their goals.
I am an out-of-network practitioner, but unlike many therapists, I submit all claims on your behalf. This helps me ensure you are getting the best possible coverage. I’m here to make the process seamless, allowing you to focus on the work we do together, rather than on billing forms. If you are curious about coverage, send me an e-mail, I'm happy to help.
