Connection is key.

My approach centers on the belief that meaningful change often begins with small shifts in perspective. Together, we’ll explore the various paths of your journey, shine a light into the darker corners, and uncover opportunities for growth that may have once seemed out of reach.

I view therapy as a partnership—a sincere, collaborative relationship where we work as a team to address life’s challenges. This connection is the heart of my practice, and I believe it’s just as important as the specific tools or techniques we use. My role is to guide and empower you, and to create a safe, judgment-free space into which you bring the authentic, unfiltered you. 

I can't provide all the answers, but I will partner with you to help uncover insights and solutions. Central to my practice is the premise that everything you need to heal, grow, and triumph is already within you, and our work together is chiefly about uncovering that. Consider this quote from Michaelangelo: "I saw the angel in the marble, and carved until it was set free."

You don’t have to face your struggles alone. Let’s put our heads together and embark on a journey that leads to self-discovery, resilience, and transformation. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I am proudly affiliated with Our Journey NP Psychiatric Services, (visit the Our Journey website here) and see patients in conjunction with this established practice, in a comfortable office in the Sunnyside section of Staten Island, conveniently located on Victory Boulevard. I am fortunate enough to work with Dr. Joann Paoletti, a highly experienced, PhD-level, board certified psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.  Dr. Paoletti is the practice founder, and will meet with you to discuss if and how medications might help.
