As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication, and find meaningful pathways through life's challenges. I have extensive experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic work focuses on creating a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can explore their inner experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop stronger, more resilient coping strategies. I draw from evidence-based practices to support individuals in understanding themselves more deeply, overcoming obstacles, and cultivating greater emotional well-being.
Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, processing significant life changes, or seeking to build healthier relationships, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance. My goal is to empower you to discover your inherent strengths and create meaningful, positive change in your life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
