Anxiety & Relationship Therapist — New York City
What we don’t say out loud — but we carry every day
You’ve done everything “right.” You’re driven, capable, successful on paper…. yet inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and are constantly questioning yourself…. including in your relationships and dating life.
I have been there and I get it.. together we will unpack the anxiety beneath the achievement and release the pressure so you can breathe again and show up in your relationships in a way that feels more secure, aligned, and clear.
I work with high-achieving women of color who look successful on the outside but feel anxious, stuck, or lost on the inside in their lives, relationships, and dating experiences.

Meet Your Next Therapist Kaela in New York City
My work focuses on helping you understand the roots of your anxiety… not just manage the symptoms. So you can stop living on autopilot and start living in alignment with who you actually are, including how you choose partners, navigate dating, and show up in your relationships.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York State as well as a high achieving women of color, because of my clinical skills as well as lived experience I understand where my clients are coming from and understand why they are thinking in certain perspectives.
Together, we unpack core beliefs, cultural conditioning, and lived experiences that have taught you to shrink, over perform, or put yourself last especially in the ways you show up in relationships, dating, and emotional connections with others.
In therapy, we work on setting boundaries without guilt, prioritizing yourself without fear, and building a relationship with yourself that feels honest, confident, and secure so your relationships with others can feel more aligned, reciprocal, and fulfilling.
You don’t need to become someone new. You get to come home to yourself.
I believe women deserve to take up space without apology

-
I currently accept Aetna insurance.
If you have a difference insurance provider, I am considered an out-of-network provider, and many client choose to use their out-of-network benefits for reimbursement.
-
Yes. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of each session after you meet your deductible. I provide monthly super bills that you can submit directly to your insurance company.
-
If you have out-of-network benefits, insurance companies typically reimburse 60–80% of the session fee after your deductible is met, depending on your specific plan.
Because coverage varies, I recommend confirming your benefits directly with your insurance provider. If it’s helpful, I’m happy to walk you through this during your free 15-minute consultation call and answer any questions along the way.
