Life can be painful and complicated at times, and so often we react instead of respond to stress. Whether you are an adult, teen, or child, emotions can be complex to navigate and difficult to manage alone. My goal is to support you through difficult moments, help you build awareness and understanding for your behaviors and feelings, gain clarity in confusing times, better understand your relationships, and ultimately help you see life in clearer terms. As a collaborator on this journey, I aim to provide a nurturing and safe environment so that you may explore your internal nature and grow in all the ways you desire.

We all experience some distress or discomfort that can prevent us from feeling content and enjoying all that life has to offer.

*ALL SESSIONS ARE DONE VIA VIDEO CALL THROUGH CONFIDENTIAL PLATFORM* *NY RESIDENTS* Therapy is a treatment intended to relieve or heal. When we talk about psychotherapy the treatment focuses on our thoughts, feeling and behaviors. Our experiences impact the way we see, feel and interact with the world around us. This can look like anxiety, depression, stress, feeling stuck, fear or anger. The connection between our experiences and our current situation may not always be clear but we could feel that desire for things to be different. Therapy can help you heal and support your growth.
