I have been passionate about becoming a therapist since I took my first Psychology 101 class in high school. Being raised by first-generation parents and immigrant Italian grandparents were some of my fondest memories. However, I also do remember my family having this unspoken rule that we didn’t talk about mental health and had to put on certain appearances around each other. To this day, my family has definitely grown in their own ways, but I had to learn on my own how to be comfortable with my own mental health, emotions, and identity. Since working in private practice, every client I have met has a story of their own. I care tremendously about your story, your lived experiences, and what they mean to you. Looking back, I see signs of being queer and neurodivergent from as early as I can remember. At the time, these aspects about myself were so unknown and suppressed. While I was still in college, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and this completely changed my life. I share some of my experiences to show you that I am human too and I always bring this authenticity to my clients. My therapy space is so warm, empowering, understanding, sensitive, affirming, and compassionate. I care about building a relationship with you that heals all the wounds, both seen and unseen, that you’ve been carrying since childhood.

You don’t have to be brave in here. Just honest. We’re not chasing better—we’re chasing truer. Are you high-functioning on the outside but feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected on the inside? I work with adults at a crossroads, navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, grief and loss, caregiving strain, and long-standing patterns that no longer fit—people who have been “holding it together” for a long time. (That includes the patterns that show up in family and close connections—without turning your life into a reality show.) My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I use an insight-oriented (psychodynamic) approach to help you understand the roots beneath the pattern—family-of-origin dynamics, protective roles, and the stories you’ve had to live by. I also use psychoeducation to make therapy practical: clear language for what you’re experiencing, tools for boundaries, and ways to respond differently in real life. Therapy here isn’t about performing progress. It’s about telling the truth safely and building steadier ground from there.

My path to becoming a therapist stems from my own mental health journey and a desire to work in a helping profession. Recognizing that many providers may not share my background, I’ve developed an intellectual curiosity about the intersections of identity and access to care. Representation matters, and I strive to make mental health care more inclusive, especially for those marginalized by socio-economic factors. I'm passionate about helping those often ignored or underserved, knowing my skills can turn breakdowns into breakthroughs. I also give back to my community, notably through volunteering with W.O.K.E. (Women of Kolour Empowered).

I am a licensed mental health therapist with many years of experience providing therapy to individuals, adolescents, groups, and occasionally couples in various settings. My experience has led me to connect with many individuals at different phases in their lives who wanted to change something but didn't know how. I have worked with various populations from so many backgrounds, and all that stuck out to me was the disfranchised. A person losing their sense of autonomy and self always left me with that question, "Can I do more?" In my journey as a provider, I want to uplift my clients and remind them they have always had a voice and power that is waiting.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in New York. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Trauma and PTSD?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in New York that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

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.
