I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity development, and relationship concerns. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and support individuals navigating polyamorous and ethical non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and trauma-informed, integrating person-centered, CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based strategies. I am passionate about helping clients build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, deepen self-understanding, and navigate change with greater confidence. Drawing from my background in education and mental health, I strive to create a supportive space where clients can explore their experiences authentically while working toward meaningful and sustainable growth.
I am in-network with 1199SEIU, Aetna, Anthem, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna and Evernorth, EmblemHealth, Fidelis, Group Health Incorporated (GHI), HealthFirst, HIP | Health Plan of New York, MagnaCare, Medicare, and NYSHIP | NY State.
