Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY

About My Clients

My clients are often thoughtful, high-achieving adults — especially women — who appear to have it all together but struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, and feeling stuck in relational patterns. Many carry wounds from family-of-origin experiences that contribute to challenges with feeling emotionally safe with others. I help clients explore these deep patterns so they can develop healthier boundaries, reduce overwhelm, and create more fulfilling connections in their lives.

My Background and Approach

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York City, specializing in helping adults and couples. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe therapy is a partnership where your unique story guides our work together. I integrate trauma-informed and evidence-based methods to help you identify and shift patterns that no longer serve you. Clients come to me when they’re ready to stop feeling stuck — to build healthier boundaries, manage relationship anxiety, and reconnect with their own needs without guilt. My goal is to create a safe space where you can explore your challenges honestly and move toward lasting change with compassion and clarity.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
