About Me

I actively engage in our sessions, offering thoughtful conversations and fresh perspectives. We can explore various mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression to insomnia and LGBTQIA+ issues. I draw on CBT and ACT to help you find practical strategies. Clients gain clarity and new ways forward in a space where their unique experiences are truly heard.

Approach

Expect our work to be collaborative and practical, moving from understanding patterns to trying small experiments that shift daily life. I see adults in New York and online, working in English at a steady, paced rhythm that balances focused skill-practice with quiet reflection. Sessions often include brief between-meeting tasks, gentle exposure to feared situations, and values-based choices to reduce avoidance while tracking sleep and mood. This approach tends to suit people looking for clear steps paired with honest, compassionate conversation.
