Self Esteem
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing individual and couples therapy for adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. My work is rooted in the belief that lasting change begins with awareness—of our thoughts, emotional patterns, and the ways we relate to ourselves and others. I work with individuals who struggle with self-criticism, doubt, emotional disconnection, and a persistent sense that they are never doing “enough.” Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of worth. Through therapy, they learn to recognize unhelpful patterns of self-talk, develop greater emotional clarity, and build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with themselves. I also work with couples who feel caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. Rather than focusing only on the content of arguments, I help couples understand the emotional dynamics and attachment patterns driving their interactions. By reducing judgment and increasing awareness, partners are able to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and reconnect in more meaningful ways. My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and client-centered. I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based work to help clients understand the “why” behind their reactions and practice new ways of responding. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or assigning blame, but about creating space for clarity, understanding, and intentional change. Clients often report feeling calmer, more self-aware, and better equipped to navigate relationships and life challenges. My goal is to help people feel more grounded in themselves, more connected in their relationships, and more confident moving forward.

Hello, and welcome. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and improve their emotional well-being. I earned my Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and have spent my career supporting people through difficult periods while helping them build healthier, more fulfilling lives. Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition that feels difficult to manage on your own. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your experiences, gain clarity, and begin moving toward healing and growth. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I work closely with my clients to help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns, while developing effective coping strategies that support lasting change. Together, we focus on building resilience, strengthening self-awareness, and creating healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural, social, and professional backgrounds. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care and creating an environment where every client feels respected, valued, and understood. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. If you’re ready to invest in your mental health and personal growth, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

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.
