ABOUT ME
Becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line, it was something I arrived at through my own lived experience.
I spent many years navigating struggles on my own, often feeling ashamed and believing something was broken inside me. That lived experience shapes how I show up as a therapist - not to pathologize you, but to help you understand and care for the parts of yourself that once kept you safe, but may no longer serve you. Together, we can gently untangle what’s no longer needed and make space for something new.
At the core of my work is a deep belief: that healing is possible when we feel truly seen, and my hope is that you’ll come to know yourself more fully, feel more rooted in your worth, and move through the world with greater self-trust and ease.

Outside of the Therapy Room
When I’m not working, I’m bouncing back and forth between NY (where I work/am licensed) and FL (where my family is). I have 2 amazing beautiful talented pups - Mavis and Stevie who join my clients and I in session and are my whole world!
I love traveling, hiking, painting, singing, playing guitar, spending time with family & friends, shopping, and making Tiktok’s for my online therapy community!
