I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “It sounds a bit silly now that I say it out loud…” because often, the fears you carry feel much bigger in your head than they are in reality.
I’ve worked with people struggling with panic attacks, social anxiety, excessive worrying, public speaking fears, phobias like driving or flying, and generalized anxiety.
Anxiety can also show up as difficulty relaxing, tying self-worth to productivity, feeling insecure, or getting stuck in indecision. Sometimes, compulsive habits like binge eating, skin picking, or hair pulling create cycles of distress and shame.
I know it can feel scary, but talking to someone about those things in your head you don’t speak about is the first step to overcoming them. My goal is to help you address your fears so you can move through life with less overwhelm, and more confidence. And yes, it is possible.
Losing a pet can feel like losing a part of yourself. Whether your loss is recent, anticipated, or years in the past, you deserve support that honors your bond, validates your grief, and helps you carry their love forward.
Through pet loss coaching and my Furever Forest community, I help bereaved pet parents process their emotions, honor their pets, and feel less alone as you grieve and learn to live life fully again.
If you’re a pet owner, you know the worst part about having a pet it isn’t cleaning up their poop. Or the torn-up furniture. It isn’t even the expensive vet bills. It’s the fact that one day, you will have
Are you feeling overwhelmed and depressed? If so, you’re probably very eager to move through this dark period and get back to your normal self. And I’m here to help you do that. But first, I want to remind you
It is a rainy day in Brooklyn. I am sitting at my kitchen table, drinking an iced coffee, listening to Taylor Swift’s brand new album, Folklore, on repeat. It was unexpectedly released last night, and I have now found myself,
I integrate two key frameworks in my therapy practice—both of which help in different ways, and combined, are quite effective:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives you practical tools to break free from spirals of fear, worry, and overwhelm. Instead of feeling stuck in anxious thoughts, you’ll learn how to regulate emotions and express yourself in a way that feels healthier and more in control.
Psychodynamic Therapy helps you understand the deeper layers of what’s causing your distress—whether it’s past experiences, societal pressures, or the way you’ve learned to relate to others. Gaining this insight can bring a sense of inner peace and clarity.
I also take a holistic approach, recognizing the mind-body-spirit connection. Sleep, movement, nutrition, and even habits like alcohol or caffeine intake can affect anxiety. But rather than just focusing on the “shoulds,” we’ll explore your relationship with these habits so that any changes feel natural and sustainable.
Alongside my therapy work, I host an online community for pet loss, with monthly—a supportive space for those grieving a beloved animal. Unlike therapy, which is a mental health treatment focused on deep emotional processing, coaching is about compassionate guidance, practical tools, and honoring your pet in a way that feels right for you.
Coaching is for you if:
Therapy is for you if:
Alongside my pet loss coaching, I also run the Furever Forest, an online community for those grieving a beloved pet. Unlike therapy or coaching, this is a space you can turn to anytime offering gentle guidance, prompts to remember your pet, and a compassionate community to support you as you grieve. You’re not alone.
I believe creativity is healing, an essential aspect of what makes us human, and we all need more of it in our lives.
Gardening helps me practice patience, mindfulness, and connects me to something greater than myself.
ASMR. It helps me fall asleep. 🤷♀️
I'm a huge Swiftie. She inspired me to learn to play the guitar!
I'm a huge foodie, but there is nothing makes my heart sing more than warm, fresh bread with butter.
Knit, play my guitar, or hold one of my cats.

Below are 10 core principles I use to guide me in the work I do with my clients, and also in my personal life.
Together we will create a safe space for you to bring up what is on your mind, even if it's embarrassing, uncomfortable or taboo.
Gaining deeper awareness creates a solid foundation for healing; as does taking responsibility for what is within your power to change.
When you connect to yourself, to others, and to the world at large, you are forging a path towards healing.
Unjust racial systems, gendered expectations, and unrealistic standards of beauty have been impacting our collective mental health for generations; How does living in our world affect you?
Life inevitably brings suffering, but humans are resilient. I am a huge fan of Positive Psychology, and an optimist at heart.
I believe strongly in the mind/body/spirit connection and view mental health from a holistic perspective.
A healthy dose of death awareness reminds us of what’s important. What do you need to love more deeply and live more freely?
Learning to be present with your thoughts, your emotions, and your experience in the moment is one of the most valuable life skills you can develop.
There is no better feeling in the world than stepping into and fully expressing who you are.
Self-discovery involves both learning and unlearning. You may need to dig up some old, deep-rooted beliefs so you can make space for new ones.
