My approach is interpersonal and action-oriented: I listen intently, ask direct questions, and guide clients toward change they can measure in their actual week. My style is energetic and inquisitive, drawing on CBT, DBT, and ACT. My goal for clients is lasting change (not just momentary relief, but resilience you carry everywhere).

Explore what maintains your anxiety, stress, or burnout and identify thought patterns keeping you stuck. We'll challenge anxious predictions, calm your nervous system, and develop personalized strategies. You'll learn to recognize warning signs, set boundaries, and respond to stress in healthier ways.

Genuine, direct, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I bring energy and curiosity while staying practical. Clients say I really listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help them see patterns they've missed. They value that I'm collaborative: we find what actually works for them, not what "should" work.

Are managing persistent anxiety: racing thoughts, social overwhelm, constant worry, physical tension. I work with adults, many of them men and high-achieving professionals, navigating chronic stress, workplace burnout, performance pressure, and high expectations. My clients often feel exhausted from pushing through or avoiding what triggers them.

I've always been fascinated by people and their stories: why we do what we do and how we change. I love sitting with someone during vulnerable moments and helping them discover their strength. There's something meaningful about witnessing transformation and helping someone live more authentically.

I've worked with diverse communities: foster care youth, immigrants, homeless populations, professionals. Outside therapy, I play street hockey across NYC, make music, cook, and explore the city's art scene. I'm an extrovert who practices what I preach: sleep, exercise, creative pursuits, and connection.
