About My Clients

I work with adults (18 years+) managing life transitions, relationship challenges (family, friends, partners, coworkers), general and acute anxiety, depression, struggles with self-esteem and body image, and coping with the stressors of college (both undergraduate and graduate levels, both academic and non-academic related). I have experience working in the health care field, including discussing grief/loss, living with a chronic illness, being a caregiver, receiving a life changing diagnosis,

My Background and Approach

Clients are the guiding force for their treatment and the experts on their own lives. Using a client centered approach to therapy, I collaborate with my clients in working towards their established goals and achieving desired personal growth. My goal is to create a safe space, where the client feels heard and supported. I know taking the first step and making an appointment can be overwhelming and scary. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have about the therapeutic journey. I am currently practicing in New York and have availability in both the daytime and evenings for virtual appointments.
