Online therapy for adults and couples in New York

New possibilities in life and love.

Do you wonder if there is room for the full you in your most important relationships? Struggling to voice your feelings or advocate for your own needs can leave you feeling lonely and resentful. But you don’t need to choose between being true to yourself and being in a relationship. 

I believe that self-acceptance and understanding allow us to build the lives and relationships we all crave. I’m here to help you cultivate the connection and confidence to get there.

I will be in your partner in exploring the ideas and feelings that drive you and those that get in your way. Together we’ll make room for new possibilities.
