  • Mental Health Counselor
    New York

Providing teletherapy to individuals (18 yo +) in NY, I primarily work with those struggling with anxiety, stress, low-self esteem, and life transitions. I work with adults across the lifespan and have a specialty working with young adults. Having worked in a college counseling center for several years, I have a great deal of experience helping emerging adults navigate coming into their own while managing the challenges that accompany that stage of life.

I'm trained in psychodynamic, CBT and ACT approaches. More recently I've focused my training on modalities that incorporate the body and the nervous system in therapy such as Brainspotting, AEDP, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I love having a rich toolbox of therapeutic interventions. Above all else, I attune to each individual client to develop a deep, meaningful therapeutic relationship to enable healing to take place.
