I’m a therapist committed to creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and able to show up as your full self. I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re balancing responsibilities, navigating relationships, or managing stress that others may not always see. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, process your experiences, and begin to feel more grounded and in control.
I use a collaborative and client-centered approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support both insight and meaningful change. Whether we’re identifying unhelpful patterns or working through past experiences that still feel present, I aim to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you.
My background in public health and community-based work allows me to understand how personal experiences are often shaped by larger systems and environments. I value culturally responsive care and strive to create an inclusive space where all aspects of your identity are respected.
Therapy with me is a space for growth, healing, and building practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.

I work remotely with clients in New York, New Jersey & North Carolina. Oftentimes, even the strongest and most resilient need a helping hand. If you're feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, angry, sad or simply feeling unlike yourself, maybe it's time you take the hand of someone else to help get you back to feeling like yourself again. Therapy can be intimidating, time consuming and even scary however I promise it is the best investment you can ever make in yourself.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
