I am a New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst, Certified Gestalt Therapist, Family Divorce Mediator, and teacher of yoga and meditation. I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate emotional, relational, and life challenges with clarity and compassion. I approach each person’s process with deep respect, believing that we all carry our own answers within.

I support people through life’s difficult transitions—whether coping with grief, relationship struggles, anxiety, or depression. My specialty is helping clients feel truly seen and understood while discovering new ways of relating to themselves and others. I offer a warm, collaborative space for healing, growth, and self-discovery, honoring the richness each person brings to the process.

My therapeutic style is grounded in professionalism, empathy, and integrity. When called for, I bring warmth, playfulness, and a solution-oriented perspective. I draw on my natural attunement to the voice, breath, and the mind–body connection. With training in psychoanalysis, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, Existential Therapy, and somatic practices, I use these tools to help clients feel more grounded, resilient, and clear about their next steps.

Before transitioning into the mental health field, I spent over two decades in international finance with multinational corporations. That experience shaped my understanding of stress, identity, and resilience, which now informs my work with clients navigating both personal and professional challenges.

Working with presence and a here-and-now framework, I view therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we will deepen awareness of what may be affecting your peace of mind and happiness, and develop practical strategies for healing, growth, and transformation.
