Welcome

I'm a firm believer in planned happenstance, the idea that by being prepared you can take advantage of spontaneous opportunities when they arise. My career path has been a series of intentional leaps, each one leading me closer to my final fit: Working as a mental health counselor. Along the way, I've worked as a teacher, a career counselor, and a communications professional.
 

Everywhere I went, I recognized that regardless of environment — people want to be seen, heard, and valued.

​

I’m someone who has had to learn how to ask for help. As a high-achieving perfectionist, I struggled with burnout before figuring out that I needed to find a better way to get through my weeks. Even though it was difficult at first, a combination of reaching out to people and setting better boundaries enabled me to get to a healthier and happier place. Over time, I’ve discovered that there are things that can only be understood within the context of our interactions with other people. When working with my clients, I help them identify trends, patterns, and habits that either block them or increase access to wellness. My sessions are governed by the understanding that my clients are the experts on their own lives and experiences and I see my role as a support and guide as they revisit and explore how and why they’ve created their personal narratives.

​

I think a solid relationship between a client and a counselor is a core part of working together. In my sessions, I prioritize creating an open environment where I can hold the space for you to share and explore. Some of my most rewarding work has been with clients who are committed to the process, understand that progress is not a straight line, interested in learning more about themselves, and motivated to build habits toward sustainable wellness. My intake process is designed to provide context that can inform our work together on whatever is bringing you to therapy. Our sessions will be evolving conversations that promote greater self-awareness and insight into your thoughts and behaviors. Together, we will collaborate on a tailored course of action that can range from weekly talk therapy sessions to more structured activities to assignments that you will complete during your time away.

​

When I'm not working, I'm spending my time trying out new prixe fix menus in NYC, binging the latest thriller/rom-com/comedy series, playing with my cats, reading YA novels, or working on my latest hobby (currently, it's crocheting and trying to finish Chained Echoes).
