I view therapy as a collaborative process grounded in honesty, curiosity, and self-exploration. The ways we experience ourselves and relate to others are often shaped by past relationships, environments, and experiences, many of which continue to influence us outside of our immediate awareness. Taking the time to better understand these patterns can create space for greater clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful change.
My approach is conversational, reflective, and individualized to each client’s unique needs and goals. I draw primarily from Psychodynamic and Relational approaches while incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support increased awareness and emotional growth. Together, we can explore how past experiences may be shaping present thoughts, emotions, and relationships, while also developing tools to navigate current challenges in a more grounded and manageable way.
I enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, academic and work-related stress, identity exploration, and relationship concerns. I believe therapy should move at a pace that feels comfortable and collaborative, creating space for clients to speak openly, deepen their self-understanding, and feel supported through periods of uncertainty, growth, and transition. I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Lander University. I understand that beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar and vulnerable, and I aim to offer a thoughtful, steady presence as we work toward a way of living that feels more aligned, authentic, and fulfilling.
