Seeking help takes courage, so I strive to make that first step feel safe and supportive. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, stress, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). My approach is collaborative and compassionate, providing strategies to help clients uncover their strengths, gain clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change. Grounded in self-compassion, I believe that healing begins with treating ourselves with kindness and understanding. I support clients in quieting self-criticism, managing overwhelming emotions, and building resilience when faced with life’s challenges.
My extensive background in mental health counseling, art therapy, and education enables me to offer a compassionate and multi-dimensional approach to therapy. When appropriate, I use creative expression as a powerful tool to process emotions and convey experiences that might be challenging to verbalize.
I provide therapy to individuals of all ages. I provide to clients in both NY and CT. All sessions are virtual (video). Please reach out to our office to set up an initial telehealth appointment or a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs and how I could be of assistance to you.
