How therapy with me can help: Therapy with me can help you heal your anxiety & panic attacks, stop overthinking & doubting yourself, show up more authentically, become more assertive & clearly state your needs, create boundaries & stop people-pleasing, be more self-compassionate, defeat negative self-talk, become more present in your daily life, & increase your self-confidence. About therapy with me: Change, even good change, can feel hard and scary. The work of therapy isn’t so much about getting rid of all the scary and hard things in your life, it’s about giving you tools and a new framework that can help you move through struggles with more confidence and ease. I’ve been where you are, which means I can meet you where you are now and gently guide you to where you want to be. Therapy is not an overnight process, and it’s anything but linear. I’ll be with you every step of the way to help you take small, sustainable steps to get you to where you want to be. You will have a safe space to share the good things, the hard things, and most definitely the awkward things with me. I believe in the power of therapy wholeheartedly. It’s through the relationship that you and I create together that facilitates powerful transformation from where you are to where you are meant to be. About me: I’ve been told that sitting with me is like sitting with a great friend over coffee- warm, grounding, silly, and safe. Yes, I’m an experienced and knowledgeable therapist, but I’m also a human first. I aim to provide a comfortable space for you to grow, change, and heal. I take a mind-body-spirit approach to healing. You are a whole person, after all, not a problem to be fixed. I utilize what I’ve learned from my own experiences plus my 10+ years of clinical experience, education, and training to guide you to become who you are meant to be with more ease. It can be so disheartening and frustrating to feel like you’re not living the life you are meant to. On top of that, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming and confusing. You are not alone. I have felt this way before, and I know that other women have as well. Together, we can move you towards the life you deserve to live. I am a licensed psychotherapist. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University, and I am licensed to see clients who live in New York and Connecticut. I am also a certified Koru Mindfulness teacher and utilize mindfulness and meditation practices in your treatment when appropriate.
