Clinical social worker offering individual and couples psychotherapy in New York City

Why Therapy?

Do you feel out of place in the world or even in your own body?

Do you struggle to find satisfaction in your romantic or sexual life?

Are you coping with the stress of a relationship’s evolution or end?

Are you ready to deepen your understanding of yourself so you can connect with others better?

Do you deal with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or personal growth challenges?

Let’s Work Together.

Ways We Can Work Together

Individual Therapy

Setting aside 45 minutes a week to dedicate to yourself: your goals, your growth, your well-being.

Couples Therapy

Working together to get unstuck and to address problematic communication patterns. We will aim to help your relationship flourish in all aspects.

  • I see clients virtually, on Zoom.

  • I meet weekly with clients at a set time.

  • Sessions are 45 minutes for individuals and 60 minutes for couples.

About Me

I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing psychotherapy in New York City. I received my Masters in Social Work from New York University.

I approach my clients with kindness, empathy, and a sense of curiosity about your lived experience. I use evidenced-based practices rooted in a deep respect for our own individuality and humanity. I understand how our personal struggles and our identities intersect with our place in society at large.

The modality I employ is technically called psychodynamic psychotherapy with an emphasis on relational theories. In other words, I believe that deepening our understanding of ourselves is the key to changing how we relate to the world around us.

I work with a range of intersecting identities, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as various relationship styles. I am proud to offer kink affirming and non-monogamy informed care.
