My communication style

As a psychotherapist, my communication style with you would be warm, open, and collaborative. I aim to create a safe space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself without fear of judgment. I listen with care and intention, and I respond with empathy, honesty, and respect. I’ll meet you where you are, support you, and offer guidance.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in a diverse neighborhood in New York City, I was surrounded by a wide range of cultures, classes, faiths, and perspectives. That environment shaped my worldview and sparked a deep interest in understanding people—their struggles, their strengths, and the unique ways they make sense of the world.

My goals for you

As a psychotherapist, I truly believe that if you have no goals, you will always miss—and that’s why setting meaningful goals together is an important part of the work we’ll do. You don’t have to come in knowing exactly what you want; part of our process will be exploring what matters most to you and identifying the changes you hope to see.

Our first session

Our first session is all about getting to know you and beginning to build a foundation of trust and comfort. I understand that starting therapy can bring up feelings of nervousness or uncertainty—that’s completely normal. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel at ease, whether you’re brand new to therapy.
