Does it feel like your worries and fears prevent you from living the life you want to live? Do you find it difficult to be present because you are either worrying about the future or ruminating about the past? If you want to learn how to move forward when you feel stuck in your head, you have come to the right place, and I am so excited that you are here. I help clients ditch worry, rumination, and unhelpful habits for a more mindful, motivated, and compassionate way of being.
My approach is founded on principles from mindfulness-based and compassion-based cognitive behavioral therapies (CFT, ACT, and DBT). We’ll work together to create the tools you need to manage stress and difficult emotions. Through our work, you’ll explore what’s most important to you and use your new tools to create a life of freedom, growth, and meaning.
I work with clients who struggle with anxiety and mood. I’m a Health at Every Size-aligned therapist and help clients with body image concerns to accept and love their bodies and practice intuitive eating. If my approach resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you!

I use an integrated, trauma-informed approach and draw from Somatic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and TF-CBT. I am sex/kink positive, support the Health at Every Size (HAES) model, and specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community.
Reaching out for support is a courageous first step, and I commend you for that! You are the expert on your life and body, I can help support you in that, and provide another perspective to welcome meaningful change. I bring a deep sense of warmth, compassion, empathy, humor, and collaboration to every session, and hope that I can be a good fit for you.

Some people describe looking for a therapist to be like shopping for shoes- there’s no one size fits all! Part of what I love so much about my role is that this sentiment really is true, that there is no one formula to match all people. It is my goal to see the full you and to provide what you uniquely need as the dynamic human that you are. I honor your personal values, past experiences and place in the world. Above all, I prioritize a feeling of relational safety, and I don’t subscribe to the idea that therapy needs to be uncomfortable or overwhelming; I care about your limits and boundaries and I trust your intuition.
I have a special interest in supporting people in mourning and grief, to find life that exists within loss. This includes grief not only related to death and dying, but also complicated grief, transition of identity or position in life, change in relationships, and the many ways we might feel loss from what or who is significant to us.
Inspired by my work as an artist, I see my approach as though a mosaic. I consider psychodynamic and relational models alongside somatic and mindfulness-based CBTs, to find the best fit for you. I can help you find meaning in your life to increase your feelings of peace and vitality. You are worth this expansion, and I’d be honored to join you!

Do you feel disconnected from your authentic self? Are you having trouble being in the present moment? Do you find it difficult to stay grounded and responsive to your changing needs?
It can be overwhelming to articulate or even know what is best for us in general and certainly during times of transition, stress, and/or crisis. Knowing what the next best right action for you when you’re uncertain or unsteady can feel elusive and terrifying.
I believe that you have everything you need to to succeed; I am here to help you access it. I work to guide clients in validating their experiences and expressing their feelings safely without victimization. Through personalized insight and psychoeducation, we work as a team in developing tools of self-regulation to empower and (re)establish a feeling of security and trust within the body and mind so you can feel confident in your next steps.
As a Pilates instructor in addition to being a social worker, I have substantial experience and understanding of the mind-body connection and how daily life, stress, trauma and injury impacts both. During our session we will focus on mindfully staying connected to the body during big emotions or sensations, strengthen executive functioning skills, and develop your authentic voice while working towards your goals.
My approach is holistic, strengths based and mindfully driven, based in trauma-informed somatic work. I draw from the evidence-based practices of ACT, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy and positive psychology to promote empowerment. I work with individuals across the age span, (adults, teens, preteens, and children) as well as couples and families. I look forward to the opportunity to connect and partner with you on your pursuit of discovery and self-care.

Have you been feeling down or anxious? Started using alcohol and/or other substances more than usual? Questioning certain aspects of your identity? Therapy is designed to help address these issues and more. Our work together would provide a space to work on how you think, feel, and behave. It would help bring cravings and drug use back under control. Above all, it would help you better understand who you are as a whole person. I work with a variety of populations including adolescents, those with mood and anxiety issues, active substance users, LGBTQ+, people of color, and those with identity issues. I am licensed to provide therapy in both New York and New Jersey.
I utilize eclectic tools rooted in social justice to customize therapy to your needs. My methods in therapy include reducing harm of risky behaviors, eliciting change through acceptance, and developing compassion towards oneself. Additional methods include ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic approaches among others.
Life is challenging. Life is a rollercoaster. Let us work together to better understanding and change your relationship to experiences. No matter what background, together we can take steps in the right direction. Being on this page is the first step in a journey towards wellness. Remember to take care of yourself, you deserve it.

Are you feeling anxious, alone, or isolated, but feel that you have no one to talk to about it? Are you struggling to build or maintain important relationships but don’t understand why? Are you undergoing a major life transition and having difficulty adjusting? My ideal clients recognize that they have a concern or problem that is significantly impacting their lives. They may struggle with anxiety or stress and would like some coping mechanisms. They may have difficulty establishing healthy relationships and need help with interpersonal skills. They may have a lot of frustration in dating and/or friendships and personal connections.
I am a strong proponent of and believer in person-centered, compassion-focused therapy. My therapeutic focus includes helping to manage the transition to college, dating, relationship, and friendship concerns, navigating the stressors of racism/macro and microaggressions, and managing stress and anxiety.
If anything I’ve mentioned here resonates with you and speaks to the kind of help you are seeking, please do get in touch. I look forward to working together.

Sometimes it feels impossible to get out of our own heads, as though worries, fears, and stressors are taking over your life. Or maybe you feel like it’s difficult to understand and accept yourself. No matter your struggles or stressors, I am so glad you’re here. You have already taken the first step! Therapy is built on trust, connection, and empathy. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a space that works for them, utilizing compassion-based cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT and ACT), as well as components of dialectical behavior therapy, to help clients tolerate difficult emotions, gain insight into their experiences and symptoms, and reduce negative thoughts. Through our work together, we will explore your values and motivations, create a “tool-belt” of skills to get through difficult times, and see how compassion can lead to growth.
Though I work with all sorts of clients, I am also a Health at Every Size aligned therapist, having a special interest in healing an individual’s relationship with food and their body. I operate from an anti-diet, intuitive eating approach, and love helping people unlearn diet culture’s rules.
If you’re feeling ready to make a lasting change in a warm, safe (and even sometimes fun) space, please reach out. I can’t wait to meet you!

Embarking on a journey toward healing and purpose can be equally hopeful and daunting. Maybe you have experienced trauma that is currently resurfacing in disruptive ways. Or, you have challenges with engaging in fulfilling relationships. Perhaps you’re starting to realize that your familiar coping strategies have become obsolete over time. Whatever the hurdle is, I’m glad you’re here. I work with folks who have granted themselves the permission and grace to explore issues related to their emotional distress, intersecting identities, complex trauma, maladaptive relational patterns, addictive behaviors, and self-acceptance.
I utilize an eclectic approach that is holistic, trauma-focused, and tailored to each client’s needs. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and pull from psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, DBT, and narrative approaches. I meet my clients where they’re at to set realistic and accessible goals through compassionate self-exploration.
I work with my clients to form collaborative partnerships that center their goals and values. I seek to facilitate healing and affirm clients of marginalized identities including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and disabled folks. I am here to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through shame and empower you to try newer, aligned ways of living.

MHC Intern

I practice therapy from a non-pathologizing, strengths-based approach that seeks to contextualize your experience within the interconnected social, familial, and personal systems you’re a part of. Although we can’t stop the inevitable changes and suffering that life often brings, we can change how we relate to these things and even find meaning in that process. Ultimately, I believe that each person has the capacity to translate their individual growth into systemic growth, and developing skills and awareness toward this process is central to my therapeutic practice.
Drawing from my previous career in improvised music, I am interested in creatively exploring issues such as perfectionism, anxiety, low self-esteem/worth, gender roles/socialization, and creating purpose. My approach to therapy is rooted in mindfulness and curiosity, and informed by relational-cultural, feminist, and identity affirming perspectives.
I work from a client-focused perspective that regards you as the expert of your life, combining both reflection and direction, and employing ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic-based approaches. Please contact me for a free consultation if you’d like to talk and see if I’m the right fit for you!

MHC Intern

I am committed to providing trauma-informed and compassionate therapy to clients of diverse identities through an anti-racist, queer-affirming, and feminist lens. I believe that healing takes place both individually and within the community. We are not islands. We are porous, interdependent, and impacted by the systems surrounding us. Suffering is inherent to life, and we will never be able to obliterate pain from our experiences. But together, we can cultivate resilience and the capacity to hold those difficult feelings until they inevitably shift.
I believe self-compassion and somatic awareness should be therapy’s central focus. You are here, and that means you have survived. Even the most painful patterns are survival strategies. Once we’ve softened resistance around those strategies, we can work together to, over time, find new, safer, and more expansive ways of being in the world.
I work from an integrated, trauma-informed lens using a variety of modalities, including IFS, ACT, CBT, mindfulness-based therapy, and somatic therapies. The most important question is not “what is wrong with you?” but “what has happened to you, and how did you survive it?” I look forward to connecting with you!
