Through the stress of everyday life, so many of us have learned to put our needs aside. Often, we ignore them in the service of others, overwhelm, or simply not knowing how to nurture ourselves. I help clients to develop insight around why they may do this and address the root cause of the problem for healing that lasts. It is my honor and privilege to join you on this journey.

My name is Klara, and I'm a mental health counselor holding a limited permit, working towards full licensure. I'm incredibly passionate about helping others reach self-actualization and lead a life that is consistent with their values. I have experience working with clients who suffer from intergenerational trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder. My approach includes cognitive-behavioral, DBT, and trauma-focused interventions. However, I strive to work with clients to find interventions that work best for them and their unique situations. Additionally, my approach focuses on past experiences as they impact our present. However, I will also address the here-and-now factors that are contributing to clients' concerns.

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.
