I am a New York City based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who supports individuals, teens, and families. I have been trained in a variety of modalities, including CBT and AEDP, and practiced both in community mental health settings as well as private practice. I received my Master of Education in Counseling Psychology and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University, Teachers College.

My role as a therapist and a human are deeply intertwined, as I pride myself on holding the nuance of the therapeutic relationship to create safety for my clients. I vow to always be real with you, even if it’s hard.

My practice is dedicated to creating a safe environment in which clients feel understood, respected, and free to explore the truth that exists inside. By providing unconditional warmth, care, transparency and honesty, clients are able to discover and experience themselves in new ways, never on the journey alone, which fosters positive change and creates deeper understanding, lasting acceptance, and increased fulfillment.

My ultimate goal is to help my clients reach authenticity, acceptance, fulfillment, and a state of connectedness to themselves and others.

On our journey, we will aim to explore what is real and true inside of you, beneath all of the protective layers we each carry inside of us. I will meet you in these unfamiliar places. Uncovering what is authentic is not easy, but by utilizing the safety of the therapeutic relationship, we are able, together, to fiercely love and nurture the parts of you that have not received care. Creating room for parts that feel unknown, unseen, and unheard allows us to be open and vulnerable, letting the light shine on all the parts of us that yearn to be seen. We can then live more wholly, as our unique, integrated self.

We are all born with the human capacity for healing, for love and empathy for ourselves and those around us. I believe that there is endless room for depth, connection, and passion towards ourselves, which subsequently improves our relationships and state of being. The lightness we all seek is rooted inside of us. The softness, the grit, being strongest in the most tender places. To be human is to be vulnerable, and I am here to help clients discover and care for all parts of themselves. My commitment to you is that you will never go through these changes alone. I will always stand alongside you while we face challenges and triumphs together. We are a team. We’re doing this together.
