Therapy for adults, adolescents, and families

Offering psychotherapy to residents of NY and all PSYPACT states

Helping you cultivate a more aligned, connected, and cognizant life.

Perhaps you’ve been noticing increased anxiety or situational stressors for some time, or you’re managing a transition in your professional or personal life and feeling overwhelmed in the midst of the uncertainty.

Maybe you’re looking to explore a relationship, whether with a person, food/ substance, or other activity, that is not serving you or is interfering with meaningful pursuits. If you need a warm, interactive, and non-judgmental space to process complex feelings and re-align yourself with your values, then you’ve come to the right place.

clinical psychologist; NY, CT, FL therapy

I specialize in the domain of health psychology and in the treatment of anxiety, perfectionism, embodiment issues, and interpersonal difficulties.

I work with adolescents and adults looking to explore issues stemming from a sense of disconnection or stuckness or challenges with motivation, self-worth, and empowerment.

I’m experienced at helping clients increase awareness of unhealthy relationships to food/substances and other addictive behaviors and build practices to cope effectively with difficult emotions and foster self-acceptance. I also support clients with broad-ranging health issues, including cancer, IBS, PCOS, and various autoimmune disorders.

Clinical Work

Throughout my training and professional practice, I worked with teens, young adults, and adults across diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I’ve worked across various treatment settings and levels of care, including inpatient treatment and outpatient mental health clinics. Post-licensure, I’ve worked in private practice in NYC, until moving to Sarasota, FL, where I currently reside.
