What's your experience with clients with anxiety?
In the past several years, and for several understandable reasons, we've seen reported rates of anxiety and panic at an all-time high. Anxiety is something that everyone experiences to some degree or another, but sometimes, it becomes intense and overwhelming. Whether a client is experiencing mild or debilitating anxiety, I provide them with a safe and validating place to process and understand what they're experiencing, and I give them specific tools to manage and reduce anxiety.
I am a New York City-based licensed clinical social worker who believes that it’s powerful and healing to have a space to be heard and supported while addressing challenges and achieving goals. I work with adults of all ages and walks of life who want to live a happier and more satisfying and productive life. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, trying to understand their career and relationship goals, learning how best to respond to daily stress, anxiety, and challenges, and striving to improve their relationships, mental health, emotions, and self-esteem. Together, we will clarify your goals and develop insight, skills, and self-compassion. I provide my clients with the tools and skills to better understand themselves and feel resilient, grounded, and empowered to make changes. My approach is empathic and exploratory and I draw from a combination of skills- and insight-oriented modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I received both my undergraduate degree and Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and spent several years working in the Department of Psychiatry at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell, where I treated individuals struggling with a range of mental health issues. Prior to that, I worked with individuals with chronic and progressive neurological illnesses at NYU Langone Medical Center. You are worthy of having a safe space to be heard, nourished, and supported. I know it can be intimidating and overwhelming to be vulnerable with a stranger, but I have every confidence that this journey will be beneficial and rewarding. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and discuss how I can come alongside you as a support and a guide.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
In working with clients experiencing anxiety, I utilize evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and personalized coping strategies. I collaborate on goal-setting to create practical tools for managing anxiety across different aspects of life. My approach goes beyond traditional roles, addressing academic, emotional, and social aspects to provide a comprehensive and effective support system for individuals dealing with anxiety.
For over 15 years, I dedicated myself to being a clinical and educational psychologist, forging deep connections with countless students and their families. This passion and dedication were recognized when I received the "Outstanding Psychologist of the Year" award from the Los Angeles Association of School Psychologists. With such a rich history in the field, transitioning into private practice was the next logical step. Over the past three years, I've donned multiple hats: a Licensed Educational Psychologist, a Certified Clinical Tele-mental Health Services Provider, and a Certified Clinical ADHD Provider. My zeal for telehealth is undeniable. This digital medium lets me reach out to countless individuals across California, breaking geographical barriers. It's an absolute boon for those grappling with anxiety or depression, allowing them to find solace without stepping out. What makes my approach stand out? It's the unique strategies and hacks I've cultivated. They're not just effective; they're quick and easy. A mere 5-10 minutes of daily practice with these techniques promises significant improvement. Whether it's enhancing focus, bettering sleep habits, or just generally uplifting one's outlook on life, the benefits are manifold. But there's a challenge I must address. The title "Educational Psychologist" sometimes leads to misconceptions. Despite this label, I possess clinical certifications that equip me to offer services equivalent to many clinical psychologists. In fact, my extensive training and hands-on experience often surpass many traditional licenses out there. It's disheartening when the expertise gets overshadowed by a mere title. I prioritize affordable, inclusive mental health support. Sliding scale fees for all and free 15-min consultations for students. Don't let a title define the quality of care you receive. Let's pave a healthier, happier path together.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
When working with clients experiencing stress or anxiety, my approach is centered around creating a safe, supportive space where they can feel understood and empowered to manage their symptoms. Stress and anxiety can feel overwhelming, whether it’s tied to specific life circumstances, ongoing worries, or deeper-rooted concerns. My goal is to help clients break free from these patterns and regain a sense of calm, clarity, and control over their lives. Together, we can explore both the surface-level stressors and the deeper emotional or cognitive patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety. I also focus on practical strategies to manage their day-to-day symptoms. This may involve mindfulness exercises, grounding techniques, and learning to reframe anxious thoughts to prevent them from spiraling into panic or excessive worry. I also help clients build healthier coping mechanisms and establish boundaries that can reduce stress, while promoting greater balance in their personal and professional lives so that they can navigate the world with a sense of calm, power, and confidence.
I believe that therapy is a space where you can be yourself, and I would love to be a part of helping you to explore your life in a meaningful way. Coming from a creative background, I decided to become a therapist to engage more deeply with the human experience, both intellectually and emotionally.  My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Above all, I believe that real healing comes from the unique relationship we build together. Therapy works when you feel deeply seen, heard, and cared for, and that is what I strive to provide in every session. Together, we will work to explore your past, understand how it shapes your present and current relationships, and create a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling now and future. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and respect, and I welcome clients from all walks of life. I also am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, culturally-sensitive, and sex-positive, so please bring yourself however you are.
