I am a warm, skilled clinician who works with young adults and adolescents. You may be in crisis or wishing you felt better. You'd like to figure out what's in the way and how to move forward. Some of my clients struggle with substance use and are looking for support in abstinence or harm reduction. My clients experience relief as a result of our work addressing stress, challenging transitions, and general feelings of being stuck. I provide highly attuned, effective psychotherapy. I am psychoanalytically trained but integrate practical interventions to improve your daily functioning. The effectiveness of my work with clients has to do with the importance I place on connecting with them, making them feel seen and understood. The therapeutic alliance is everything. Together, we will look for connections between your experiences, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, to help you move forward with greater ease. Please reach out. I offer a complementary twenty minute phone consultation, and I’d be happy to speak with you.
S H A D O W L I G H T CENTER is a holistic and alternative approach to traditional talk therapy. We offer sessions on Zoom. We are both POC as well as racial justice and LGBTQIA+ allies devoted to deconstructing systems of harm to humans and non-humans resulting from racial, heteronormative, and hierarchical power structures. We are licensed in New York to provide therapy and practice holistic help to people outside of New York State. We integrate the mind-body-spirit (this is not a faith-based approach). We are trauma-informed and create safe spaces for you to be heard for issues large and small that college students face both in and beyond college. We weave mindfulness, somatic awareness, ancestral healing, spiritual connection, finding purpose, grief counseling, energy balancing, post-psychedelic therapy integration, and more. We specialize in helping people understand how mental health issues like depression, anxiety, etc. are related to ancestral traumas, the pain present on the earth right now, as well as our personal histories. Conventional Western wisdom says it’s only about the self, i.e. a "chemical imbalance". But wellness is more complex and inter-connected than we have been made to believe. Reach out for a free Zoom consultation.
Life is a journey and you will be hard pressed to find a completely smooth path along the way. The hard truth is that life can be filled with difficulties. However, everyone possesses inner strengths to overcome their barriers. I will assist you in bringing out these strengths and adopt healthy coping mechanisms. I have a background in established therapeutic styles such as solution-focused, goal-oriented, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. Such traditional approaches may work for some but sometimes dismisses the holistic needs of individuals. I am a strong believer in the power of connection, humor, and purpose. To meet the needs and busy schedules of people, I also offer an internet-based platform. Availability for individuals, groups, couples, and families. I respect all forms of therapy, but if you envision beyond counseling that follows the standard constraints then this is the right fit for you. Please visit the website EBCounseling.org
Welcome! Each individual's journey is unique. As a therapist, I assist my clients in growing into the best version of themselves. I am inspired by every individual's ability to be self aware, vulnerable and resilient. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and mindfulness-based interventions. I graduated from the University of Rochester with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working in non-profit mental health clinic settings serving children, teens and young adults. My expertise includes anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress management, relationship difficulties, adjusting to life transitions, interpersonal skill development, and self-esteem building. We will work to build a strong therapeutic relationship, and to together determine the goals you wish to accomplish throughout your therapeutic journey. Each time we meet, we work collaboratively to process any past or current stressors that may be impacting your ability to be your best self. As your therapist, I will work at your desired pace but I will also guide and challenge you as needed. I value a strong therapeutic relationship and come to every session with warmth, compassion and high energy (and there's always time for a good laugh as well)!

I provide therapy that’s rooted in cultural humility. I believe trust grows when we honor the full spectrum of your identity—race, gender, work environments, religious affiliation, family, and beyond. I’m interested in the “why” behind things. Many of our thoughts, feelings, and reactions make sense when we look at earlier experiences or relationships. In therapy, we gently explore those patterns—how they show up now, and whether they’re helping or holding you back. I work in partnership with you. We’ll determine your course of treatment together. I believe the most lasting change happens when your voice is central to the process.

My clients seek support in developing coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges associated with the college experience. My foundational approach is rooted in person-centered and strengths-based principles. I employ an eclectic toolkit with methods from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Creative Arts Therapies, and Design Thinking to guide the therapeutic process. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working across diverse settings such as medical clinics, universities, corporate environments, and private practice. This journey has allowed me to connect deeply with people as they share their experiences and craft their intended stories. What energizes me is collaborating with clients as they navigate their unique life paths. My goal is to provide a nurturing and inclusive space that promotes healing – a place where clients feel safe to explore challenges and cultivate a practice of self-compassion.
Therapy with me is real, supportive, and never stiff—just two humans talking it out. I specialize in working with young adults navigating perfectionism, the complexities of self-worth and anxiety as they transition into adulthood.

Together, we can explore what’s weighing on your mind, build confidence, and find a path forward that feels right. My goal is to help you trust yourself, feel more in control, and create a life that feels fulfilling. If any of this resonates with you, let’s connect—I’d love to support you.
