I believe in the inherent worth of every person and that we all deserve the relief that comes from being truly seen and understood—especially when navigating life’s challenges. I’m continually inspired by our innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-actualization. In our work together, I aim to offer a nurturing space that balances safety with the kind of challenges that support real change.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to meet each client where they are. Drawing from psychodynamic theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems theory, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based modalities, I help clients explore patterns, shift perspectives, and develop meaningful tools for living. I also welcome spiritual and somatic exploration where it feels relevant, believing that a mindset of curiosity is often the key to deeper healing.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from NYU, and a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Colgate University. Before entering the mental health field, I worked in corporate and crisis communications—an experience that informs my understanding of identity, resilience, and transition. I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating major life changes (chosen or unexpected), relationship and family dynamics, caregiving and chronic illness, grief and loss, and career-related stress.
