Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to please everyone? Tired of feeling that nothing you do is good enough, no matter how hard you try? Trained at Columbia University with over a decade of experience, I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapies to help you navigate these challenges. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer a warm and direct approach tailored to help women address anxiety, stress, mood, and relationship issues. I am particularly passionate about helping women who struggle with people-pleasing tendencies, boundary setting, feelings of inadequacy, and burnout.
I customize cognitive behavioral approaches to fit your unique needs, helping you develop skills to manage symptoms and work toward your desired changes. In a supportive and non-judgmental space, we'll build on your strengths and explore new, more adaptive ways of experiencing and engaging in your life that align with your personal values and goals.
Starting therapy can be daunting, but rest assured, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll work at a pace that's comfortable for you, helping you to overcome obstacles and achieve the changes you want. If you are looking for a proactive and compassionate therapist, reach out today — I'd love to get started with you!
