What's My Approach to Therapy?

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you're unsure where to begin or what to expect. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and work together in a way that feels supportive and tailored to your unique needs.

I work with adults and couples navigating everything from anxiety and relationship stress to grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Therapy with me is collaborative and creative; I often incorporate writing or art-based tools to help you explore your inner world in new ways. I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and take a trauma-informed approach to everything I do.

There’s no one-size-fits-all method for healing. Whether you’re coping with a recent loss, overwhelmed by daily stress, or looking to reconnect with a sense of stability, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll build a trusting relationship where you can safely unpack what’s been weighing on you and move toward a more grounded, empowered version of yourself.

My Practice & Services

I am available for in-person sessions in New York City. I also provide virtual therapy across New York, Vermont, and South Carolina.

On a personal note, I love to incorporate art and writing in my therapy practice when it makes sense and is something a client is interested in!
