Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring four decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, substance use/addiction/dependency and life transitions with deep understanding and empathy.
I specialize in working with diverse communities, particularly supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and older adults seeking meaningful therapeutic connections. My approach honors each person’s unique journey, focusing on themes of self-care, self-love, purpose, healing from past trauma, developing resilience, encouraging use of affirmations and helping individuals reach their unlimited potential.
My therapeutic work emphasizes understanding and harnessing the power of Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin and Endorphins in a variety of holistic activities. I leverage humor as a coping mechanism to build emotional resilience and gain perspective on life’s challenges. My use of therapeutic humor helps clients reframe negative thought patterns and release tension. I am passionate about helping individuals develop stronger emotional skills, overcome isolation, and rediscover their inherent strength and potential. While embracing cultural competence and cultural humility.
Through collaborative and personalized counseling, I’m committed to walking alongside my clients as they transform difficult experiences into opportunities for profound personal healing, personal growth and self-discovery.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.
A key benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that best fits their needs – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to include therapy in a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide care in online formats, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they would like a different fit. This combination of effectiveness and convenience makes online therapy a practical choice for many seeking support.
