- LCSW
I'm a licensed therapist practicing in New York and Virginia, dedicated to supporting clients through life's most challenging moments. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to meeting you where you are. I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, discover life purpose, and work through forgiveness—whether you're facing divorce, workplace challenges, postpartum depression, seasonal changes, or other significant life transitions.
I'm particularly passionate about supporting women's health across all life stages, including pregnancy and childbirth, as well as working with men and military veterans. I also have experience supporting individuals navigating self-harm, addiction, and infidelity.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace. I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
