Science-Backed Therapy, Rooted in Genuine Connection

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with high achievers, entrepreneurs, and driven professionals navigating anxiety, perfectionism, depression, and the chronic stress of having to always be “on.” I especially enjoy supporting people in high-pressure fields like finance, tech, healthcare, and the startup world, where the emotional toll often goes unspoken and there’s rarely time or space to pause, let alone process.

In therapy, I bring a warm, engaged, and collaborative presence. My style is active, curious, and invested. Clients often tell me that therapy with me feels unlike anything they've experienced before, because we don't simply talk around issues; we slow down, untangle what's happening beneath the surface, and connect to something deeper. I ask thoughtful questions, offer meaningful reflections, and guide you to notice patterns and insights as they unfold naturally, right in the moment.

My approach is rooted in the science of how we respond to stress, emotion, and connection. Together, we work toward something many clients have never experienced before: a more grounded, openhearted way of being. It’s not just about functioning better. It’s about feeling more alive and connected on the inside.

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy supporting fellow therapists at Clarity Therapy NYC, a Manhattan-based private practice. I’ve helped over 30 clinicians connect with the clients they’re best equipped to support, building meaningful practices through ethical marketing and thoughtful storytelling.

I'm a contributor on Psychology Today and collaborate with journalists to share human-centered perspectives on emotional wellness. My insights have been featured in outlets such as Huffington Post, Marie Claire, and more.
