Welcome,

If you found your way here, chances are something in your life feels ready for change. Many of my clients have careers, relationships, and lives that look good from the outside, even enviable at times, but privately feel disconnected, stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. Something isn’t necessarily wrong, but something doesn’t feel quite right either. I’ve been there.

I know how daunting and vulnerable it can feel to start this process.

With an overwhelming number of options, approaches, and therapy buzzwords at your fingertips, I also recognize that it can be hard to know where to begin or who to trust.

I work with individuals and couples in their 20s, 30s and 40s seeking deeper connection—with themselves, their partners, and their bodies. You might be struggling with anxiety, body image, self-confidence, identity questions, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, or major life changes. Together we can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and help you move forward with greater clarity, intention, and joy.

If you're facing a specific challenge or simply sensing that something in your life needs attention, I’d be honored to support you.

  • Accepting virtual and in-person clients in New York

  • individual therapy

    As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with clients in their 20s-40s navigating life transitions, identity questions, anxiety, burnout, emotion regulation, relationship challenges, family dynamics, body image, men’s issues, and more.

  • couples counseling

    Do you ever feel like you and your partner are stuck in a never ending cycle? As a Gottman and EFT trained therapist, I help couples understand their relationship patterns, improve communication, and deepen their emotional and intimate connections.

  • sex therapy

    There’s no such thing as TMI in this space. As a sex-positive, kink-affirming therapist, I work with clients of all genders and sexual orientations in exploring mindful embodiment, sexual pleasure, shame, and sexual dysfunction.

My path to becoming a therapist was not linear, and this work is personal and sacred to me. Before entering the field, I spent 12 years in competitive professional and academic environments, achieving and performing while feeling deeply disconnected from myself. I was drawn to this field due to my own life-changing experience in therapy.

I help clients explore the deeper roots of what may be keeping them stuck, including childhood experiences, attachment patterns, and internalized beliefs and narratives. I also use evidence-based mindfulness and somatic practices to support clients in slowing down, reconnecting with their bodies, and building insight into challenges related to body image, relationships, intimacy and self-worth.

While the tools and techniques are important, I believe the true magic happens when an authentic, trusting, and safe relationship is developed between the therapist and client. I encourage my clients to show up messy in session, to say the things that feel shameful to admit out loud, and to bring curiosity to areas where judgment and self-criticism run the show.

In my personal life, I love live music, trying new restaurants, and exploring all that New York has to offer. I’m a city girl at heart but you’ll also find me recharging with friends and family at the beach or in the mountains.
