Courage starts with showing up and allowing our imperfect authentic selves to be seen. I realize how daunting it can be to reach out when you’re struggling and find a therapist you implicitly trust. My personal experience in therapy informs my work and empathic concern fuels connection for those in need of emotional nourishment, fulfillment, and a new foundation of confidence. By validating your perspective, I am dedicated to creating a safe, encouraging, non-judgmental environment where you can explore and express your emotions, discover proper coping mechanisms and life skills to contend with daily challenges and make empowering choices. Vulnerability is the foundation of change. I align with the belief of practicing truth without judgment, while skillfully balancing an empathic and challenging environment to strengthen each client’s healthy self. My goal is to support and encourage individuals to recognize their capacity for emotional harmony, to develop a deeper sense of identity. I aim to heighten one’s self-awareness by nurturing their emotional wellness, ability to develop healthy ways to cope with stress, anxiety, interpersonal relationships and ultimately lead a richer, fuller life. I am ready to journey alongside you in a path to reconnect with your true self towards happiness and living more fully in the precious present. With a deep passion for eating disorder recovery advocacy, I help individuals to recover from eating disorders, self-esteem, and body image issues. I strive to create a safe space and foster a genuine, compassionate, non-judgmental relationship with my clients. Everyone’s struggle is unique, yet together we will nurture your self-compassion, food freedom, and body appreciation, so you are able to show up as your authentic self and access your full potential. By validating your perspective, I am dedicated to creating a safe, encouraging, non-judgmental environment where you can explore and express your emotions, discover proper coping mechanisms and life skills to contend with daily challenges and make empowering choices. I encourage the importance of vulnerability, authenticity, communication, self-acceptance, and positive self-talk. I aim to provide support and education to individuals and families affected by eating disorders. I create a bridge for those needing and seeking help by connecting patients with a full comprehensive out-patient team including myself, an ED-sensitive Physician, Dietitian, and Psychiatrist, if need be. A triple-team approach is often essential for those in recovery, and I collaborate with some of the best ED specialists and treatment centers in NYC and Florida. An essential part of my practice is cultivating relationships and collaborating with in-patient treatment facilities, Dietitians, general medical practitioners, Psychiatrists, and university counseling centers. This ensures I can provide my patients with the most comprehensive treatment support team and care coordination possible
