As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop deeper self-understanding and healthier relationship dynamics. I have extensive experience addressing challenges like relationship difficulties, social anxiety, trauma recovery, and personal growth.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to overcome communication barriers, manage intense emotions, and cultivate self-compassion. I'm particularly skilled at supporting clients working through guilt, shame, and interpersonal struggles. By creating a compassionate and non-judgmental space, I help people develop stronger emotional resilience and more authentic connections.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies that honor their unique experiences and strengths. My goal is to support you in building meaningful, transformative pathways toward healing and personal empowerment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
