Are you feeling stuck in cycles of worry, perfectionism, past trauma, or unfulfilling relationship patterns? Do you want to make a meaningful change in your life but aren’t sure where to begin? If so, I’d love to explore how I can support you. I’m a NYC-based psychologist and the founder of Elevate CBT, where we specialize in helping individuals overcome challenges such as anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, emotion regulation struggles, and eating and body image issues. Many of my clients are young adults (18+) and college students who are seeking practical strategies and compassionate guidance on how to create lasting change.

My work with you will be rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is goal-focused, and a big part of it is teaching you skills to help you navigate your day-to-day life and your relationships with more ease. I have expertise in a specific kind of CBT called exposure therapy, which helps with things like OCD, social anxiety, panic attacks, and PTSD.

My goal is to create a comfortable environment for you to learn more about yourself, your emotions, and how to change behavior in the direction of your desired goals. Balancing self-compassion with pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, we will work together to help you achieve the life you want. I'd love to connect for a free consultation.
