Hey there!

I’m a down-to-earth, LCSW therapist offering virtual sessions for adults in New York, South Carolina, and Florida. If you’re a high-functioning professional who “mostly has it together” but feel stuck in a few key places—dating, boundaries, people-pleasing, stress, or substance use—you’re in the right spot. My style is curious, humorous, and honest. We’ll get clear on what’s not working, build practical strategies, and help you feel more like yourself.

Common Struggles I Help With

 Feeling discouraged with dating and relationships—even when you’re doing “everything right.”

Anxiety and stress around life transitions (graduating, first jobs, career changes, moving, ending relationships).

Trouble setting and holding boundaries; saying yes when you want to say no.

People-pleasing and second-guessing yourself.

Substance use that’s started to get in the way—of sleep, relationships, or work.

Feeling “high-functioning but overwhelmed,” stuck in loops you can’t quite break.

How Therapy Can Help

 Learn realistic coping tools for stress and anxiety you can actually use in daily life.

Build confidence around communication, boundaries, and relationships.

Understand the patterns (and nervous system responses) that keep you stuck—and shift them.

Explore your relationship with substances with honesty and no shame.

Feel more aligned with your values so decisions are easier and self-trust grows.

My Approach

 I keep therapy conversational and integrative—meeting you where you are while blending evidence-based practices when helpful. I draw from CBT, CPT, Motivational Interviewing/MET, strengths-based, solution-focused, psychoed and socratic questioning to help you build skills, clarify goals, and create steady change. I’m direct when needed, always compassionate, and I bring humor when it helps us breathe.

Expect straight talk, gentle challenges, and the occasional well-timed pause that lets breakthroughs sneak in. Anxiety, grief, relationship knots—whatever’s hogging your mental bandwidth—I’ll craft you a strategy that sticks long after you leave the office (or log off the video call). Normal? Never met her.
