You don’t have to keep holding everything together alone.

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.

A compassionate, trauma-informed approach

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.

What therapy can help you do

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.

Who I work with

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.

You deserve support that meets you with care, not pressure.

If you’re ready to feel less overwhelmed and more grounded in yourself, I’m here.
