About
You carry a lot, and you carry it well — so well that most people have no idea just how much you’re holding inside. Beneath the surface is a deep emotional world and quiet endurance of someone who keeps going, even when it’s hard. Maybe you feel lost, unsure what to do with downtime, or stuck in dating that never quite works. You might hide the struggle through scrolling, drinks, or perfectionism — because you’ve mastered the mask. But something’s got to give. You're no longer seeking quick fixes. You want to understand the why beneath your struggles and create grounded, lasting change in how you feel, relate, and live. I am a University of Pennsylvania–trained psychotherapist licensed in CT and NY. Using psychodynamic, relational, and evidence-based approaches, I specialize in working with teens and young adults facing challenges like burnout, perfectionism, identity confusion, social and dating anxiety, post-college drift, shame, trauma, and disconnection. This isn’t surface-level coping skills therapy. This is for people who want real change, internal clarity, and a stronger connection to who they actually are. If you’ve been silently struggling or looking for a therapist who truly gets it, we might be a good fit. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation call to take the next step in your healing. Specialties: Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that don't serve you, we'll get to the root, not just patch the surface. We'll untangle old stuff, build tools that actually help, and create space for you to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life. Credentials & Experience: I'm a licensed therapist in CT and NY with specialized training in relationships, eating struggles, and the deep stuff we carry like shame. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families to help them heal, grow, and feel more like themselves again.
"In our sessions, we'll mix deep, reflective work with practical tools. We'll explore the roots of your patterns through psychoanalysis, strengthen your relationships with a relational approach, and use CBT and DBT to help you handle life's curveballs with more ease and confidence. It's therapy that's flexible, real, and designed for change."
