Let’s navigate the chaos together...

Life has a way of feeling overwhelming, especially when you are trying to balance expectations, relationships, and your own mental health. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I am a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping teens, young adults, and adults move from "just surviving" to truly thriving. My practice is built on a simple promise: unconditional acceptance. As an LGBTQ-affirming and neurodivergent-friendly therapist, I provide a safe, culturally responsive space for people of all identities. Whether you identify as gay, lesbian, non-binary, queer, or are navigating the world with a different neurotype, you are welcome here exactly as you are. I specialize in helping clients navigate complex hurdles, including: - Anxiety & OCD: Quieting the noise and finding your center. - Eating Disorders & Body Image: Healing your relationship with food and yourself. - ADHD: finding strategies that work with your brain, not against it. - Substance Misuse: meaningful support for addiction and recovery. - Trauma & Relationships: Using psychodynamic insight and family systems work to break old patterns. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter therapy. We will blend deep insight with practical action, using trauma-informed care to help you build resilience. My goal is to empower you with the tools you need to create a balanced, fulfilling life. Get in Touch I offer virtual therapy to make support accessible wherever you are. I am currently licensed to see clients in NY, NJ, CT, FL, TX, VA, IL, PA, VT, and SC. If you are ready to start reclaiming your story, I’m here to listen. Let’s connect.
