Online in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York
(Online Only)
I approach every client with deep compassion and genuine patience, recognizing that therapy can feel vulnerable and challenging at times. I understand that building trust is a gradual process that cannot be rushed.
As your therapist, I honor your pace, fully respect the boundaries you set, and create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly seen and secure. My goal is to foster a strong sense of trust and emotional safety so you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and life experiences openly -- the very experiences that have shaped the unique individual you are today. I meet you exactly where you are, without pressure or agenda, and walk alongside you as we uncover insights, build resilience, and move toward the growth and healing you deserve.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) An evidence-based treatment for PTSD that teaches clients to reframe unhelpful thoughts about trauma. It helps reduce guilt, shame, and fear.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
