Hi! I'm an LCSW based in NYC, I provide virtual therapy in New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), Washington DC, & Maryland (MD). I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and adults struggling with relational and complex trauma, ptsd, anxiety, burn out, codependency, people pleasing, and perfectionism. I also support anyone interested in shifting their relationship with alcohol.

I take a trauma-informed, somatic, holistic, compassionate, and relational approach as a therapist. So my first priority will always be developing a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship between us and to collaborate on an individualized treatment plan. Then I am happy to integrate modalities like EMDR, somatic exercises, mindfulness based skills, mindful self compassion, DBT skills, or work on shifting thinking patterns. As a holistic therapist, I look at the whole self - mental and emotional health, physical, social, and spiritual if interetesd and as a trauma-informed & somatic therapist, I understand the importance of developing the mind-body connection.

I love to empower and challenge my clients to achieve their best, heal from the past, and develop new more helpful ways to cope with emotions and difficulties. I believe in working together to help my clients become a more confident and authentic version of themselves, empowering them to prioritize their own needs. To me, it's about finding a combination of developing insight into how your past impacts present patterns, while also focusing on the here and now and taking action toward change.

I look forward to connecting!
