About Me

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring 18 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating diverse challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing social anxiety, isolation, life transitions, and multicultural concerns. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person’s unique journey, with a particular commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ communities, young adults, and those exploring identity, sexuality, and self-love.

My therapeutic style emphasizes empowerment, healing, and authentic connection. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop meaningful coping strategies, rebuild self-worth, and move through challenging life experiences with resilience and hope. Whether you’re struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, or seeking personal transformation, I’m here to support your path forward.
