I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

When struggling with self-doubt, critical self talk, and the weight of societal expectations around identity, relationships or image a place to talk it through is crucial. These thought patterns can become barriers to effective communication, self care and greatly affect our mental health. We all deserve a space to be heard and process these experiences. A part of the therapy process is bringing awareness to how these internal narratives and external experiences influence anxiety, depression, mood, self-esteem and self-worth.

I believe it is critical to be a lifelong learner, and I'm always trying to develop new skills and gain new knowledge to bring to my practice,

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and straightforward. I’ll bring clinical expertise, honesty, and compassion to our work together so you don’t have to go through this season of your life alone.
