About me

As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, personal growth, and emotional challenges. My approach centers on empowering clients to develop self-love, improve communication, and overcome barriers that prevent personal fulfillment.

I bring expertise in addressing workplace dynamics, women's issues, career difficulties, and the nuanced emotional experiences of professional and personal life transitions. My practice focuses on helping clients work through feelings of isolation, shame, and impulsivity while building stronger self-understanding and resilience.

Drawing from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive framework, I create a compassionate space where clients can explore their unique experiences. Whether you're struggling with body image, financial stress, relationship challenges, or seeking greater life purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
