Consultations

I know reaching out for help can be daunting—especially if you’ve been carrying pain or uncertainty for a long time. Some people ask about consultations, and I understand why. I’ve found that the most meaningful progress begins with a formal appointment. A single, short conversation can open up wounds and isn’t enough time to fully understand the layers of your story—especially when we’re working through experiences built over years, or even decades. An appointment gives us the time and space to unpack what really matters, start understanding each other, and build a path forward for you.

When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment—I’d be honored to work with you.

Finding Balance: How to Stay Resilient in Astoria

Finding time for yourself in Astoria can often feel like a challenge amidst the daily commute and professional demands. However, whether you find a moment of peace walking through Astoria Park, the Museum of the Moving Image, and the incredible view of the Hell Gate Bridge or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, it is essential to reconnect with your own inner calm. As we work together, we can cultivate a sense of stability, helping you find your footing even during the busiest weeks.

We all face moments where we need extra support, especially when balancing a demanding career with personal life in a vibrant neighborhood like Astoria. It is in these moments of overwhelm that your resilience is forged. Therapy provides a confidential space to process these experiences, allowing you to move through stress with greater clarity and confidence, rather than just "pushing through."

My goal is to provide accessible online therapy that fits seamlessly into your life in Astoria. Through flexible evening and weekend sessions, we will focus on practical tools and emotional growth. You don't have to navigate anxiety, burnout, or life transitions alone; we will build a partnership that empowers you to thrive both personally and professionally.

My Approach

"Creating Positive Outcomes: Guiding you through life's changes with clarity & confidence to turn transitions into growth. I limit patient load to maintain an open and flexible schedule day, evening, and weekend sessions to fit your life."

I make therapy accessible by accepting insurance that is verified before our first session so you know exactly what to expect. Prefer private pay? I take credit cards too. My focus is easing your transitions.


With a warm, practical approach, I offer seasoned support to help you move from uncertainty to confidence. Together, we turn life’s upheavals into opportunities for growth, resilience, and self-discovery.


Licensed in New York, I keep a limited caseload for flexible day, evening, and weekend sessions that fit your life.
