I believe the most important part about seeing a therapist is feeling safe enough to be who you truly are. My practice revolves entirely around building safety and readiness to explore and discover what the work in therapy means to you. I’m gentle, patient, and go at your own pace keeping therapy on your terms. I don’t read from a therapy script but instea show up as myself and tailor my style to your needs in the room. I believe it is such a privilege and an honor to be chosen to follow alongside you on your journey, and I do not take that for granted.
I am dedicated to making you feel seen, heard and known while we navigate your current chapter in life together. I help my clients to regain confidence in themselves, balance in their relationships, purpose in their day-to-day, and discover what makes them feel most alive. As a trauma- informed therapist, I work with my clients to process difficult emotions, helping them work towards wholeness.
My therapeutic style is integrative; I pull from a wide range of theories/modalities to be the best help I can be for my clients. Practicing from a psychodynamic lens and integrating evidence based approaches my aim is to help you to develop insight on how we get in our own way. We work together to help build an understanding of how you relate to yourself, others and the world.

“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings.”
I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Northeastern University. While there, I completed a Co-Op where I worked 40+ hours per week on the floor of a psychiatric hospital, helping patients through the crisis of their lives. I found a real purpose in being able to help people when they needed others the most – so much so that I stayed there after my Co-Op ended, and continued after graduation.
After seeing so many of the same faces returning to the hospital after being discharged, I had the painful realization that this work is not enough – I need to be able to work more closely with patients, and have dedicated time with them, outside of the often chaotic hospital floor. I applied for a Master’s in Social Work at NYU and moved to NYC immediately after being accepted.
While there, I interned at COJO, a social service agency in Brooklyn, where I spent 8 months doing home visits with Holocaust survivors, helping them cope with the end of their lives and the 10/7 attack in Israel. I learned about partnering with grief, coping with being alone, and finding resilience even when so much of what we love isn’t with us anymore.
In my last year of grad school, I interned at IDCC in Crown Heights, a community clinic, providing in person and virtual therapy to many at-risk clients in the local area. My work was focused on unraveling trauma that occurred over the lifetimes of my clients. It’s exactly what I was looking for when I left the psychiatric hospital – to have the intimate time needed to work through the years of suffering that people lived through. I helped them to build better relationships with their pain, and build new relationships with themselves and the world around them.
