My Philosophy

At iDiscover we are committed to: 

  • Building trust and fostering resilience.

  • Addressing challenges with integrity, innovation and education.

  • Creating a culture of emotional well-being and meaningful connection.

Who I Am

Welcome. I’m a CORU-credentialed psychotherapist with a deep commitment to supporting individuals, young adults, and families through life’s challenges. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or family dynamics, taking this step is meaningful — and I’m honoured to walk alongside you.

Experience

With over 20 years of clinical experience in mental health care throughout New York City, I’ve worked across both clinical and community settings. My work focuses on helping people develop insight, resilience, and practical tools for healing and growth.

I have a particular passion for working with young adults during pivotal periods of identity, change, and pressure, as well as supporting families as they navigate relationships, communication, and generational patterns.

Approach

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to speak openly, explore deeply, and be fully yourself.

Whether you’re seeking clarity as an individual, finding your footing as a young adult, or working toward greater connection as a family, therapy can be a powerful space for meaningful change.

What You Can Expect

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a place to start.

I’m here to support you in finding a path forward — at your pace, in your own way.
