Life has a way of piling up — old wounds, new stressors, the quiet ache of trying to appear fine on the outside while everything inside feels tangled. Trauma, chronic stress, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout… these patterns can shape your whole emotional world without your consent.
Therapy offers a place to pause, take a breath, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface — gently, slowly, with someone paying close attention.
You might be coming in because:
Anxiety or overwhelm feels constant
Trauma — recent or long past — is affecting your daily life
You’re hard on yourself, even when you know it’s hurting you
You feel disconnected, numb, or like you’re “moving through fog”
Boundaries feel impossible to hold
You’re navigating identity shifts, life transitions, or grief
You want to understand why old patterns still show up in new places
Whatever brings you here, there is room for it.
My work is grounded in curiosity and care — a belief that people don’t “act out,” they adapt. Every pattern you’ve developed made sense in the context where it formed. Therapy helps you understand those adaptations, honor them, and gently reshape the ones that no longer serve you.
How I work:
Trauma-informed, identity-aware
Compassion-focused and mindfulness-based
Attachment-oriented
LGBTQ+ affirming
Neurodiversity-aware
Deeply collaborative — no pathologizing, no judgment
We move at a pace that feels safe. You get to choose what we explore and when.
In our work together, you can:
Understand emotional patterns with more clarity
Build internal safety and self-trust
Soften harsh inner criticism
Heal trauma and its lingering effects
Develop boundaries without guilt
Connect more deeply with others
Rediscover parts of yourself you’ve had to hide
Learn to meet yourself with compassion rather than pressure
It’s not about becoming a different person.
It’s about becoming more fully yourself — with more care, room, and breath.
I work with adults and teenagers 16+ across New York State via telehealth, and in person at my Downtown Manhattan office.
All genders, identities, and backgrounds are welcome.
You don’t need a specific diagnosis or a perfectly articulated reason to come — just a sense that something could feel better than it does now.
