About Me

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional challenges, life transitions, and identity development. My goal is to provide therapy that feels supportive, collaborative, and grounded—where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and goals with openness and curiosity.

My work is rooted in holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to build greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance.


Who I Support

I work with individuals experiencing:

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
  • Trauma and difficult life experiences
  • Life transitions and identity exploration
  • Relationship and interpersonal challenges
  • Children and adolescents developing emotional regulation and coping skills

With over six years of experience working with youth, I’m especially passionate about supporting children and adolescents as they build confidence, strengthen coping strategies, and navigate personal growth.


My Approach

My approach is collaborative, reflective, and centered on helping clients better understand themselves and their experiences. I draw from:

  • Existential Therapy to explore meaning, purpose, and personal values
  • Narrative Therapy to help clients better understand and reshape their personal stories
  • Adlerian Therapy to support growth, connection, and self-awareness

I believe therapy can serve as a meaningful guide through life’s challenges, helping clients build insight, resilience, and practical tools for long-term emotional well-being.

I practice under clinical supervision in accordance with New York State regulations. Ongoing supervision supports ethical, high-quality care and helps ensure you receive thoughtful, client-centered treatment while your privacy remains protected.


Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I enjoy hiking, nature walks, and spending time with my dog, Archie. I also enjoy reading classical literature and drawing, which give me space for creativity, reflection, and balance in everyday life.
