Feeling overwhelmed by trauma, financial stress, or relationship struggles? Specializing in trauma recovery, finance therapy & sex therapy, I help individuals & couples navigate challenges like PTSD, money-related stress, dating trauma & intimacy concerns, while also addressing anxiety, grief, life transitions, narcissistic abuse & chronic health issues. My compassionate, collaborative approach is tailored to your needs, focusing on breaking unhelpful patterns & building resilience. With a professional background spanning Wall Street, the legal industry & journalism, I bring a unique perspective to therapy. Licensed in NY/DC/VA/MD.
I have extensive experience supporting professionals in high-demand and high-stress careers, including finance, law, medicine, corporate and the military, helping them manage burnout, perfectionism, self-esteem issues and work/life balance. Offering virtual therapy, I make it easy to prioritize your mental health from the comfort of your home.
Therapy is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, address what’s holding you back, and step into the life you want to live. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, I’m here to walk with you on this journey. Take the first step toward healing, growth and empowerment. Reach out to schedule a consult or book your first session today.

I consider myself a client-centered therapist. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I pull from different modalities such as CBT, AEDP, and solution-focused therapy. When working with couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Internal Family Systems, & Sex Therapy.
