My Approach to Therapy
You might be the person everyone counts on. You are capable, responsible, and really good at keeping things moving. But underneath all of that, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or just tired of holding everything together.
A lot of the women I work with are stuck in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional or binge eating, body image struggles, difficult family dynamics, and feeling guilty anytime they try to set a boundary. You may know exactly why you do what you do and still feel frustrated that knowing has not actually changed it.
That is where our work comes in.
My style is warm, direct, practical, and active. I am not the kind of therapist who will sit quietly while you talk in circles for 50 minutes. We will absolutely make space for what is going on emotionally, but we will also figure out what is keeping you stuck and what you can actually do differently.
I want therapy to feel useful. That might mean learning how to calm your anxiety, stop spiraling, set a boundary without immediately regretting it, understand why food has become such an emotional outlet, or finally stop taking responsibility for everyone else’s feelings.
I also believe therapy can be meaningful without feeling heavy all the time. There is room for humor, honesty, real conversations, and moments where you realize, “Oh wow, I have been doing this my whole life.”
The goal is not to turn you into a completely different person. It is to help you feel more like yourself. Calmer. More confident. Less consumed by worry. More comfortable saying no. More at ease in your relationships, with food, and in your own head.
If you are new to therapy, reaching out can feel awkward or intimidating. I try to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible. I offer a complimentary video consultation where we can meet, talk about what is going on, and answer any questions you have. You can get a feel for my personality and approach and decide whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
My Practice & Services
My practice is fully virtual, and I work with individual clients located in Florida and New York. Sessions are held securely by video, making therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule without adding another commute to your week.
I primarily work with women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional or binge eating, body image concerns, burnout, boundaries, and complicated family or relationship dynamics.
I keep my practice intentionally personal and collaborative. You will work directly with me throughout the process, from your initial consultation through ongoing therapy.
I offer a complimentary video consultation so we can meet, talk about what you are looking for, and see if working together feels like a good fit. I also offer out-of-network billing support and can verify benefits and submit claims on your behalf when applicable.
My goal is to make starting therapy feel simple, comfortable, and straightforward so we can spend less time dealing with logistics and more time focusing on what brought you here.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
I have particular expertise in the issues that often show up for women balancing relationships, work, family expectations, identity, and the pressure to do everything well.
My clinical focus includes anxiety and chronic worry, binge and emotional eating, body image, codependency, self esteem, burnout, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
I also work extensively with family of origin issues, adult children of emotionally immature parents, assertiveness, perfectionism, boundary difficulties, and patterns of overgiving or losing yourself in relationships.
I especially enjoy helping women untangle what they actually want from what they have learned they are supposed to want, and build a life that feels more authentic, sustainable, and their own.
