About My Clients
Do you find yourself overthinking, struggling with your emotions, or repeating patterns you know you want to change? Maybe your relationships feel complicated, or you’re navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, or a major life transition. You may understand what’s happening but still feel stuck. Therapy can help you make sense of these patterns, better understand yourself, and create meaningful change.
My Background and Approach
I’m direct, compassionate, and collaborative. I won’t simply sit back and listen; I will help you understand the patterns underneath what you’re experiencing and work with you to create meaningful change. We may explore where your patterns come from, how they show up in your relationships, and what keeps you feeling stuck, while also developing practical tools to help you navigate difficult emotions in the present. My approach draws from psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy, along with CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing. For couples, I incorporate Gottman-informed therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I earned my M.A. and Ed.M. in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University, Teachers College. My goal is for you to leave therapy with a deeper understanding of yourself, stronger relationships, and tools you can actually use outside of the therapy room.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe our past experiences shape us, but they do not have to determine our future. The patterns we develop often made sense at one point, even if they no longer serve us. With curiosity, self-compassion, and willingness to do something different, those patterns can change. I believe people are capable of change at any point in their lives, and that understanding yourself is often the first step toward creating that change. I don’t believe you have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest, ask difficult questions, and feel both supported and challenged. I also believe that every person deserves to feel understood and respected for who they are. Your identity, culture, relationships, and experiences matter, and there is no one-size-fits-all version of healing.
