About Me

I offer supportive therapy for individuals and families in Northern Westchester. My calm, consistent space helps you feel truly heard. We gently **process** life’s complexities together, exploring challenges to foster resilience and clearer communication. You’ll gain practical insights and strategies, helping you navigate daily life with greater ease and confidence.

Approach

Providing supportive therapy in Northern Westchester, I shape sessions to fit your pace—steady, focused, and practical—so we tackle what feels most urgent without losing sight of longer-term growth. You can meet in my Katonah office or by telehealth, with sessions held in English and a predictable, organized rhythm that helps you feel grounded. We set short-term goals, use reflective conversation and occasional creative prompts, and check in between sessions so adjustments are concrete. Those seeking practical tools and steady support tend to find this approach helpful.
