Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, your loved ones, or the world around you? Do you find yourself struggling with emotional intimacy, attracting emotionally distant partners, or questioning your self-worth in relationships? If you’re dealing with attachment wounds, challenges in dating, family dynamics and relationships, issues with self-worth, depression, anxiety or identity concerns, I specialize in helping individuals like you break free from these patterns. Together, we’ll work on building your self-confidence, improving your emotional connections, and fostering a deeper sense of security and fulfillment.

Starting therapy can feel both exciting and intimidating—you may wonder if change is possible or worry about the emotions that may arise, but you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Therapy can be a space where you exhale and unburden yourself . We will move at your pace, co-creating a safe and trusting environment to explore the parts of you that need attention, while untangling the patterns that no longer serve you.

I believe that all parts of you – whether they feel anxious or self-critical – are trying to help in their own way. Through a trauma-sensitive lens, we will explore together how your early experiences and attachment wounds have shaped these parts. By deepening self-awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion, we can untangle the patterns that keep you feeling stuck in relationships and help you reconnect with your most authentic self. I tailor my approach to fit your needs, incorporating parts work, psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

With time, you may notice yourself responding differently to situations that once triggered self-doubt or anxiety. You’ll develop a greater awareness of your relational patterns, allowing you to navigate conflicts with more understanding, communicate your needs with confidence, and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling connections. I will help you break free from cycles that no longer serve you—empowering you to engage in relationships with self-trust, clarity, and ease. Instead of feeling stuck or disappointed, you’ll gain the insights and tools to create the kind of relationships you’ve been working so hard for.

If you’re ready to begin this journey, I am here to support you in feeling more fulfilled and connected to who you are.

A little bit about me: I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Fordham University and my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from New York University. My passion for this work comes from witnessing how healing relationships – both with others and within ourselves – can be transformative from feeling stuck and disconnected to feeling more empowered and free to be themselves. In my free time, I love traveling, reading, catching up on the latest fashion and beauty trends, and spending time with my partner, family, friends, two kittens, and chinchilla.
