You may feel internally divided, navigating anxiety, shame, identity questions, relational patterns, or tension between faith and lived experience. Many of my clients are thoughtful, multi-faceted individuals that identify as spiritual and want more coherence in their lives but feel stuck in cycles that no longer fit who they are becoming. You are not looking for quick fixes; you want space to be honest, reflect deeply, and move with greater integrity. Your goal is not perfection, but clarity, groundedness, and a more integrated way of relating to yourself, others, and the Divine.

Self-acceptance, dealing with grief and loss, making life transitions, and attending to that quiet space within ourselves to rest and be restored. This is what I am inviting you into. Let's meet together. I offer virtual sessions from the comfort and privacy of your home.

Surviving childhood sexual abuse was a formative experience that profoundly shaped my life and purpose. Rather than allowing it to define me, I chose to transform that pain into fuel for healing and growth. My journey inspired me to pursue a career in mental health, where I now provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals who are seeking to break cycles of silence, shame, and generational pain. This work is not just professional for me—it is deeply personal.

For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian-focused therapy, integrating faith into the healing process while maintaining strong clinical care.
You may be feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, overwhelmed by anxiety, or weighed down by experiences that still affect you long after they happened. Maybe your mind feels busy with intrusive or frightening thoughts, or you notice yourself avoiding things that once felt manageable. You may be exhausted from trying to cope on your own and wondering if real relief is possible. My ideal clients are women who are living with the effects of trauma or OCD and are ready for meaningful change. Many come in feeling discouraged, confused, or fearful that things will never get better. What they want most is relief and in control.

You may have achieved a great deal, yet you may still feel overwhelmed. You carry ambition, responsibility, and the emotional weight of success. You may come home from a day of performing, worn out, fatigued and stare into space. Many of my clients are used to pushing through, code-switching, and being “the strong one,” while quietly navigating burnout, anxiety, or unresolved trauma. I support multicultural and first-generation professionals in New York and New Jersey who are navigating success, burnout, and generational pressure.

I am a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, offering virtual therapy across the U.S., with a practice grounded in diversity, inclusivity, and expertise in existential and spiritual concerns. Healing isn’t about just coping. It's about rediscovering yourself. During life’s pain, we long for more than survival. We crave connection and a safe space to make sense of it all. I believe healing happens through authentic, collaborative relationships—the kind where you’re seen, understood, and invited to explore both joy and pain. It would be a privilege to discover a way forward that makes room for both hope and love.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.

How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.

Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
