EMPOWERING WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH
from NYC to the Hamptons
Do you feel trapped in cycles of self-doubt, stress, or perfectionism? Are body image concerns or unhealthy food patterns taking up too much space in your brain? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
a licensed mental health counselor and millennial therapist who gets it.
Since 2010, I’ve been helping women break free from anxiety, disordered eating, and body image struggles so they can stop overthinking and start living. As a mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend, I understand the pressure to have it all together. My approach blends professional expertise with real-life relatability, so therapy feels genuine, supportive, and actually helpful.
I work with women, men, young adults, and professionals who are ready to quiet the negative self-talk, heal their relationship with food and their bodies, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a personalized, down-to-earth space where you can unpack what’s holding you back and build a life that feels good.
If you're ready to ditch the pressure and embrace self-compassion, let’s talk. Your healing starts here.
SPECIALITIES/AREAS OF FOCUS:
-
Struggling with an eating disorder can feel overwhelming and isolating, but recovery is possible. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and disordered eating patterns. Through a compassionate and evidence-based approach, I help clients heal their relationship with food, body, and self, so they can reclaim their lives with confidence and balance.
-
Negative body image can impact every aspect of life, leading to low self-esteem, anxiety, and unhealthy behaviors. I work with clients to challenge harmful societal standards, reframe self-perception, and build a more accepting and compassionate relationship with their bodies. Together, we shift the focus from appearance to overall well-being.
-
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and daily life. Whether it’s excessive worry, perfectionism, or social anxiety, I help clients develop coping strategies to manage stress and regain control. Using a mix of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and practical tools, I guide individuals toward greater peace and confidence.

Changes—big or small—can bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional challenges. Trust me, I know! Whether you’re navigating a new career, relationship shifts, parenthood, or other major life transitions, I provide the support and tools to help you adjust with resilience and clarity. Together, we work on managing the emotions that come with change and creating a path forward that aligns with your goals.

Free Consultation
I offer a free initial phone consultation to ensure we’re a good fit. This is a chance for us to briefly discuss your concerns, goals, and any questions you have about therapy.
The First Session
Your first session is about getting to know you—your background, current challenges, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. It’s a collaborative, judgment-free space where we can start mapping out a plan tailored to your needs.
Ongoing Sessions & Approach
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I use a personalized approach, incorporating relational and psychodynamic therapy to help you explore the deeper patterns and experiences that shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We’ll also integrate practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when needed to help you manage symptoms and navigate challenges with more ease. Together, we’ll work on tangible strategies to help you navigate life’s stressors with more clarity and confidence.
