    Individual Services

    Whether you're navigating a life transition, stress, identity questions, past trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed, individual therapy offers a space just for you.

    Together, we create a space that feels safe, supportive, and grounded — where you can show up as you are and explore who you're becoming. My approach blends psychodynamic and relational perspectives, so we can look at the emotional patterns, relationships, and life experiences that have shaped you, while staying rooted in what's happening for you right now. This isn't about rushing toward fixes; it's about making room to actually feel and understand what's underneath the stress, the stuckness, or the overwhelm.

    I work with adults and adolescents around a range of experiences, including:

    • Trauma and Complex PTSD

    • Depression and anxiety

    • Life transitions and identity exploration

    • Relationship patterns

    • Gender identity and LGBTQ+ experience

    • Domestic and gender-based violence

    • ADHD and neurodivergence

    • Immigration-related stress

    Sessions are available in English and Spanish, virtually across New York and New Jersey.

    Our work together will aim to help you slow down, reconnect with your inner voice, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being — at a pace that respects your story and your readiness.
