About

Welcome! I'm an NYC-based therapist specializing in supporting clients who struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-criticism. Many of my clients - often high-achievers - experience depression, anxiety, or burnout from constantly prioritizing others, whether in work, school, relationships, family, or more. It’s a journey that challenges them to set healthy boundaries, embrace imperfection, and step into a more authentic life. My hope is to support you in doing the same by helping you honor your own wants and needs, cultivate self-compassion, and create a life aligned with your values rather than outside expectations. View 5 Photos My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like ACT, EFT, EMDR, as well as mindfulness and somatic work. I’ll meet you where you're at and go at your pace, walking alongside you on your healing journey. I’ll also gently nudge you outside your comfort zone when it’s time to try new skills that align with your therapy goals.
