About Bella

With unconditional positive regard for my clients and a down-to-earth approach, I welcome you to be imperfect and to explore at your own pace. I don't consider myself the expert; we're a team. Therapy with me is a long, sometimes uncomfortable process, but you're here for it, and so am I. I value humor as a way to connect, lighten the mood, and offer perspective, especially when things get tough. Let's explore together, side by side, and help you live your fullest self.

My main modalities are psychodynamic psychotherapy and EMDR therapy. Because the fit between therapist and client is the most important component of therapy, I view our first three sessions as a trial period to explore how we work together. I currently offer only telehealth sessions and work with clients in New York and Florida.

Core Values

  • Timing: Everything happens when it's meant to happen. You’re never behind*.

  • Partnership: We're in this together, side by side.

  • Acceptance: Embrace the imperfect and flawed parts of ourselves and celebrate our shared humanity.

  • Connection: Heal through the microcosm of the therapist-client relationship.

  • Humor: Lighten the journey with laughter and perspective.

*I work with adults age 18 to 100! Share the benefits of personal fulfillment with a parent or grandparent - it’s never too late.

Healing begins here.
