Hi, I’m an extern currently pursuing my doctorate in clinical psychology at Long Island University. My hope is to create a warm, open, and inviting space where you feel comfortable sharing whatever is on your mind, at a pace that feels right for you. I have always identified as a deeply sensitive and empathic person who naturally feels and connects with the emotions of others. This has shaped the way I approach therapy, with warmth, curiosity, openness, and genuine care for each person’s experience. My hope is that therapy feels like a space where you can openly share not only your experiences, but also what you need out of our work together. I view the therapeutic relationship as one of the most important parts of meaningful growth and change. My approach is primarily insight-oriented, exploring how past experiences, current relationships, and emotional patterns have shaped who you are today. I believe that insight can be deeply cathartic, while also integrating practical skills and coping strategies when helpful. I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, relational difficulties, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also value working with families and understand that parenting can be both meaningful and incredibly challenging. My goal is to support children, adults, parents and families in navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges with compassion, collaboration, and understanding. Above all, I hope to help people feel heard, understood, and reminded that their experiences matter, and more importantly, that they matter.
