About me

Welcome! If you're feeling weighed down by life, struggling to find motivation, or stuck in loops of anxiety or overthinking, you don't have to navigate it alone. As a licensed therapist in New York and New Jersey, I help adolescents (ages 13+) and adults work through anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and complex mental health challenges including bipolar and schizophrenia. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. Together, we will build on your strengths, foster genuine resilience, and create actionable steps towards meaningful change.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Starting therapy takes courage, and our first session is designed to be a comfortable, low-pressure space. We will explore what brings you here, discuss your current goals, and look at your background to better understand your unique needs. Think of this initial conversation as a gentle introductory step to see how we fit together and map out a path forward that feels right for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often describe my style as warm, grounded, and deeply understanding. I offer a steady, non-judgmental environment, where you can feel safe to open up, paired with gentle encouragement when it's time to stretch beyond your comfort zone. I integrate evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and strength-based frameworks to provide practical coping strategies, reduce daily symptoms, and promote long-term self-esteem. Additionally, my roots in the Jewish community enrich my cultural awareness, enabling me to offer thoughtful, identity-informed care tailored to your values and lived experiences.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with teens and adults who are ready to make a change but might feel overwhelmed about where to begin. Whether you are navigating persistent anxiety, working through a period of grief, managing mood fluctuations, or seeking psychoeducation and practical strategies, I am here to guide you step-by-step. You don't have to have everything figured out before you reach out. We will figure it out together.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps us uncover how your thoughts, emotions, and daily behaviors influence one another. By identifying patterns that keep you feeling stuck, we can introduce practical and manageable changes to reframe negative thinking. Whether you prefer structured tools and worksheets or open and conversational guidance, we adapt every step to fit your personal style.

Strength-Based

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to focus on what isn't working. A strength-based approach highlights your inherent abilities, resilience, and personal values which helps you restore confidence and build sustainable mental wellness.
