I’m a licensed therapist (LCSW) in New York State who works with individuals using a relational and attachment-based approach. Growing up in the US as the child of immigrants, I developed a deep respect for how our identities and cultures influence how we connect with others, ourselves, and the institutions around us. Those experiences helped me understand the importance of feeling a sense of belonging, safety, and connection - both within ourselves and in our relationships. That perspective continues to shape how I work as a therapist.

My approach integrates evidence-based approaches and draws on attachment theory, relational therapy, and neuroscience, particularly neural plasticity and the possibility of building new neural pathways, new patterns, and new ways of living. Part of our work together is moving past just coping and surviving, so you can rediscover what brings you joy and actually make space for it.

Before entering private practice, I worked in outpatient mental health clinics, community organizations, and schools. Across these settings, I’ve supported individuals untangling complex relationship and family dynamics, moving through major life changes, transforming generational patterns, and making sense of who they’ve been and who they are becoming. Much of this work involves understanding how our past experiences continue to affect us, while recognizing that they don’t have to determine what comes next.
