Nice to meet you
Do you find yourself stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, overwhelmed by constant worry, or struggling with food, body image, or eating patterns like restricting or bingeing? Maybe these challenges are affecting your relationships, your ability to focus at school or work, or your sense of self. If you’re feeling lost, exhausted, or like there’s no clear way forward—you’re not alone. Many people today are under intense pressure while trying to find their place in the world. I believe you can build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. You deserve a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported.

Interests
When I’m not in session, I’m chasing my kids, sipping matcha, or exploring NYC’s hidden gems. I love traveling, beach walks, and advocating for animal welfare. These everyday joys keep me grounded—just like the work I do in therapy.
