Are you a Gen Z or millennial woman navigating life in NYC while feeling anxious, lonely, or disconnected? Do you find it difficult to set boundaries with family, partners, friends, or work? Do you struggle with expressing your needs in relationships? I get it and I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work on identifying and letting go of these patterns, which is tough, but will lead to healthier and more fulfilling relationships, a stronger sense of self-worth, and bring you closer to the authentic life you want and deserve.
Life can be complicated and overwhelming. I'm here to help you get past anxiety, depression, loneliness, perfectionism, and self-criticism. We'll work together to overcome whatever is holding you back from enjoying the healthy, fulfilling relationships you deserve.
Therapy can be transformative. If you’re ready to take the next step - to improve your relationship patterns, gain insight into your emotions, and develop the tools you need to make positive change - send me a note to get started. It would be my pleasure to support you on your journey towards greater self-awareness, empowerment, and fulfillment.

I am an out-of-network therapist, so most of my clients use out-of-network mental health benefits to pay for their sessions. I know it can be stressful and confusing to deal with insurance concepts and jargon, so I'm happy to help you verify your health insurance benefits.
