As a Marriage and Family Therapist, systemic thinker, and Certified Sex Therapist with 20+ years of experience, I work with clients who are curious and open to meaningful change, even if they feel stuck or uncertain. You might be facing relationship stress, emotional disconnection, or sexual concerns that are hard to name. Whether you come as an individual or a couple, I offer a space grounded in compassion and collaboration. Together, we’ll explore what’s shaped your story and work toward greater clarity, connection, and authenticity.
I am licensed in New York and Pennsylvania and offer telehealth services. I have integrated different approaches to help clients better understand themselves. This includes emotionally focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), and narrative therapy. I help you holistically understand issues and create strategies.
If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or simply curious about taking the next step, know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. Reaching out is often the hardest part, and it’s also the beginning of something meaningful. I’m here to offer a space that’s warm, supportive, and grounded in compassion.
