My path to where I am now
Mental health and relationships shaped my life long before they became my profession.
I’m a licensed therapist based in New York, specializing in anxiety, depression, relationships, and burnout, with over 9 years of clinical experience..
I grew up in a family where therapy was normalized. My parents openly shared their experiences, and I saw early on that working with a therapist wasn’t a sign of weakness, it was a form of self respect and care.
I started therapy myself at 15. I still remember my first therapist’s office: a converted single story home, soft and neutral, with therapy rooms in former bedrooms. I remember how my body felt walking in: calmer, less alone, and more understood.
That experience stayed with me.
My natural curiosity about people and relationships drew me toward psychology. I considered nursing and teaching, but after my first psychology class, I knew. I was fascinated by how the mind works, how early experiences shape us, and how our relational patterns follow us into adulthood.
I started working with children and adolescents in Baltimore near my alma mater, Loyola University Maryland. A few years into my career, I felt ready for both personal and professional growth. I moved to New York City and transitioned into working individually with adults in private practice.
During that time, I continued my own therapy while navigating new relationships, friendships, career shifts, moves, and the collective stress of a global pandemic.
That’s when I fully stepped into my passion: relational, attachment-focused, psychodynamic work, helping my clients understand their patterns, regulate their emotions, and build more secure relationships with themselves and others.
I primarily work with high functioning individuals who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, despite “doing all the right things.”
Today, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise into the therapy room.
I know what it feels like to struggle with anxiety and self doubt.
And I know how transformative therapy can be.
What working with me looks like
If you’re here, something isn’t sitting right. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t quiet down. Maybe it’s relationship patterns you can’t seem to break. Maybe you’re incredibly successful and productive during the week, but feel overwhelmed, burned out, and exhausted the moment you slow down.
You’ve probably gotten really good at pushing through. At figuring things out on your own. At being the one others rely on. But at some point, that stops working.
Therapy is where we slow things down. Where we pause together. Where you learn how to respond instead of react.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York City with over 9 years of clinical experience. I work with high functioning adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, despite doing everything “right.”
My approach is attachment-based and psychodynamic therapy, which means we’ll look at how your early experiences and relationships shaped the way you feel, think, and respond today. At the same time, I integrate practical tools from CBT and DBT to help you regulate your emotions and nervous system, learn how to self soothe, and build more effective ways of coping in between our sessions.
The goal isn’t to stay stuck blaming your past or the people in it. It’s to understand how your experiences shaped you, so you can begin to respond differently.
The experiences that brought you here are not your fault. But your healing is your responsibility.
In my career, I’ve helped over 200 clients quiet their minds, feel more grounded in their emotions, create more secure relationships, and trust themselves again. And I can help you too.
My clinical approach
My style is relational, trauma-informed, and insight-oriented.
I integrate:
Mindfulness-based approaches
Person-centered techniques
Together, we explore how your past influences your present — not to keep you there, but to give you clarity and choice.
I help you not only understand what you’re feeling, but translate that awareness into action.
Insight without change can feel frustrating.
Change without insight rarely lasts.
In our work, you’ll build both.
Together, we’ll move toward a life that feels grounded, balanced, and aligned with what actually matters to you — not just what you’ve been told should matter.

Outside of Session
When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me enjoying Brooklyn’s music scene, taking a mat Pilates, yoga, or dance cardio class, or trying a new restaurant I’ve saved on Google Maps.
I recharge through reading fiction, self-help, or celebrity memoirs (audiobooks absolutely count as reading!), traveling, collecting passport stamps, or occasionally shutting my brain off with reality TV.
At home, I’m usually with my dog, Sero (short for Serotonin)!
