Let's Connect (917) 410-1203

I specialize in supporting those struggling with relationship issues, addiction (particularly gambling), intimacy, vulnerability, and life transitions. I offer a safe and judgment-free space where we can begin the healing process together. My goal is to help you rebuild your emotional wellbeing and move towards a healthier, more purposeful life. In our early work, we will center on how you take care of yourself; tracking immediate and tangible progress while exploring and addressing the deeper roots of issues. Only when self-esteem and confidence are actively being built can one seek properly to help with wants and needs of others.

I have nearly a decade of experience as a psychotherapist. I am a lifelong New Yorker and earned my Master’s Degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University, graduating at the top of my class. I worked for four years at NYC's Center for Intimacy Recovery, where I helped individuals overcome barriers to connection and emotional closeness.

Asking for help is not easy, but just by being here, you have taken the most difficult step. I am committed to creating a space where you feel supported in establishing trust and connection. Together, we will work to help you feel emotionally strong and in-control of your life. I especially enjoy working with individuals trying therapy for the first time.

I have substantial experience working alongside individuals dealing with issues related to intimacy. A large percentage have struggled with gambling or pornography (among many other) addictions. I use a two-pronged approach: Asking ourselves, "How do we measure progress and how can we get there?" and "What are the roots of this issue?" The two blend to create a more promising journey ahead.

I hesitate to define the "type" of therapies I most often employ, as I strive to treat each individual compassionately and uniquely. Together, we will identify strengths while processing past traumas and how they have impacted who you are today. Along the way, we will identify the coping mechanism(s) to which you have historically turned, and how we can dig deeper in order to keep moving forward.
