Clinical Social Work/Therapist
New York, NY
Accepting new clients

You might be here because life feels overwhelming—perhaps you're navigating depression, anxiety, or the weight of gender dysphoria. I work with adults who are seeking to better understand their emotional experiences, develop lasting tools for support, and build a more grounded relationship with themselves. In our work together, I draw from psychodynamic therapy to help you explore how early experiences may be shaping current patterns. Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), we’ll examine ...

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
New York, NY
Accepting new clients

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and interactive. After an initial assessment, I may start by providing information about different therapy techniques and why they may be helpful for your concerns. I also start from a place of strength — though you may begin therapy feeling low or nervous, I aim to remind you of the resilience and skills you already possess, while helping you discover new ways to look at and tackle obstacles. I’m a fan of handouts and worksheets, and may encourage you t...

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

College is a big transition. It might be the first time you're living away from home—figuring out how to balance classes, friendships, roommates, and family expectations, all while trying to keep up and not fall behind. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone.
