Not accepting new clients
Not currently accepting new clients. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, burn out, stress, or loneliness? Unfortunately, this is quite common for many people in today's world. Some feel as if they are drifting through life, without a deeper sense of meaning, or purpose. Sometimes, we numb the pain; other times, we just accept it and don't realize how to manage it. It is also common for people to struggle with having deeper relationships, whether with family, friends or romantic. If you would like to identify and explore the roots of these, or other issues, you have come to the right place.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, or just managing the daily grind? Are you finding it hard to manage your emotions, or do you just feel like you are lost? Maybe you feel exhausted at the end of a long day or are constantly feeling overwhelmed by life and it is hard to get started on the things you need to do. Maybe you are sick of living up to the standards of society or of someone else. Sometimes it seems just getting through the day is a triumph (and maybe it is).

Thank you so much for viewing my profile. Making our health a priority and reaching out can be so difficult. So many barriers can get in the way in our lives and taking the steps to initiate your journey to self-care can be the most difficult. Once you take the first step, the second one is always easier. I am trained in EMDR, IFS, and TF-CBT therapies and utilize those techniques along with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation techniques. I have had significant training in trauma treatment and assisting with life transitions, relationship issues, and the healing process.

I’m a New York–licensed therapist providing telehealth therapy to adults across New York State. I help people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or emotionally exhausted — especially those who are high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally. Therapy can be a space where you finally slow down, feel understood, and begin to make meaningful changes. Many of the people I work with are professionals, caregivers, and parents who are used to putting others first.

I also provide comprehensive psychoeducational and psychological evaluations, including ADHD and Autism assessments. Therapy is collaborative—we identify meaningful goals and use evidence-based strategies to support growth. I bring clinical expertise and structure, while clients bring insight and effort—both are essential for meaningful progress.

Accepting clients for daytime appointments only. If you’re feeling stuck in worry, intrusive thoughts, or the aftershocks of painful experiences, you’re not alone — and things really can get better. I help people who feel trapped by anxiety, OCD, or trauma find relief and reconnect with a sense of peace and confidence. When working with OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — a highly effective approach that helps you face fears, reduce compulsions, and loosen anxiety’s grip. Together, we’ll go step-by-step, at a pace that feels safe and doable, so you can start living the life you want without OCD calling the shots.
