Hi, I’m a licensed therapist in New York with five years of experience working with people through all kinds of life challenges. I’ve helped clients with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, big life changes, and even things like focus, memory, and concentration.
My goal is to create a warm, safe space where you can be yourself and share what’s really on your mind—without any fear of judgment. I truly believe that therapy is a partnership, and together we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life.
Taking that first step toward feeling better can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
