Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation, perfectionism, stress, or overwhelm? At times, it can feel as though you’re moving through life disconnected from yourself or others. Beginning therapy may feel like crossing a threshold, but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a space where healing is both restoration and awakening. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we bring hidden thought patterns into awareness, challenge distorted beliefs, and dissolve mental illusions—cultivating clarity, balance, and a renewed sense of inner connection.
I completed a post-graduate certification in Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at New York University and am Level 2 Certified in TEAM-CBT through the Feeling Good Institute. This advanced training allows me to go beyond traditional talk therapy and use structured, outcome-focused CBT methods that help clients see measurable progress.
My work is rooted in trust, fairness, compassion, and accountability. I approach therapy in a practical, straightforward way and show up authentically — not as a scripted clinician, but as a real person committed to helping you create meaningful change. If you're ready to begin, let’s get started.

"
For cognitive-behavioral therapy to be effective, an individual needs to be motivated and willing to do the work required to change. CBT is an action-oriented talk therapy structured to focus on the present, problem-focused, and skill-building. All of this is achieved by the person's commitment to homework, openness, and consistent practice of skills learned.
