Hi there! I'm so glad you're here. Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can't seem to break. You want relief and a therapist who truly understands your inner world. With years of foundational experience managing high-acuity caseloads in mental health centers and intensive day programs, I bring deep clinical resilience and versatility to my practice. My clients are ready to feel more grounded and supported as they begin healing.
In our sessions, we’ll blend deep, gentle reflection with real-world, practical tools. We’ll look at the bigger picture of your story while building everyday skills to handle difficult thoughts and emotions. If you struggle with anxiety or OCD, I weave in ERP and ACT techniques to help you face your fears.
You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. As a tri-state clinician licensed in MA, NY, and CT, I offer a warm virtual space to grow at your own pace. My weekday hours (9am-5pm) are a perfect anchor for remote workers, students, and professionals. Together, we’ll move toward deeper resilience. If you're ready to begin, I'm here to support you!
