Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a New York-based therapist (BSW/MSW from Syracuse University) with a decade of experience, and the founder of the Clinically Petty brand. What does Clinically Petty mean? It means we take your healing seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. It’s about creating a safe, virtual space where you can validate the small stuff, call out the absurdities of life, and ditch the pressure to perform or "be perfect." My practice is built for anyone who has ever felt "othered"—especially folks in the LGBTQ+ community, those exploring alternative relationship styles, neurodivergent individuals, and anyone living with trauma or anxiety. I don't sit back, nod silently, or hide behind clinical jargon. I combine evidence-based tools (like CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing) with real human connection, sharp humor, and zero judgment. We won't just analyze why you're stuck—we'll work as a team to help you break free from societal labels and build a life that feels safe, balanced, and unapologetically yours. My Philosophy: "Healed doesn't mean flawless—it just means you're wise enough to set your boundaries, laugh at the chaos, and protect your peace at all costs."

I provide counseling for children, teens, and young adults in a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. My approach is strengths-based, developmentally appropriate, and sensitive to past experiences. In therapy, I help clients build emotional awareness, coping skills, and confidence so they can better manage stress, big emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges. My goal is to support meaningful, lasting change by giving clients practical tools they can use in real life. In addition to counseling, I offer comprehensive psychological evaluations to help families better understand concerns related to attention and focus (ADHD), autism, learning differences, emotional regulation, anxiety, mood challenges, and executive functioning skills such as organization and self-control. These evaluations are thorough but easy to understand and highlight both strengths and areas needing support. When appropriate, I provide clear diagnoses along with practical, individualized recommendations that families and schools can use right away.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, couples, families, and older adults. I specialize in helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and who are seeking both relief and deeper understanding of themselves. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to, while also thoughtful and direct when helping them identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a strong focus on helping clients feel emotionally safe while also gently encouraging insight, reflection, and meaningful change. In my work, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic principles. This allows me to support both present-day symptom relief and deeper exploration of long-standing emotional and relational patterns. My clinical background includes many years of work in community mental health in New York City, where I provided care to diverse and underserved populations. I also have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings supporting individuals during acute crises, as well as involvement in psychiatric research, which strengthened my foundation in evidence-based and clinically grounded care. At the core of my work is the belief that people are not defined by their symptoms or their past experiences. Instead, therapy is a space to better understand yourself, shift long-standing patterns, and build a more grounded, connected and intentional life.

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.
