Get started today!

This is therapy without the clichés.

You’re not ‘too much’ or ‘not enough.’

You’re someone who deserves to feel seen and chosen.

You deserve relationships, confidence, and a life that don’t make you question your worth.

My Mission

Welcome! I’m Donnie - therapist, human, and someone who knows how heavy it can feel to carry the weight of other people’s expectations.

If you’re here, you might be tired of battling your reflection, feeling anxious under constant pressure, questioning your worth in relationships, or wondering why “good enough” never feels like enough.

My mission is simple: to help young adults feel grounded in who they are, heal the beliefs that keep them stuck, and confidently choose relationships and lives that feel secure, aligned, and authentic.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering you were never broken.

More about me

Who I Work With

I work with self-aware, anxious humans who are tired of knowing why they feel the way they do - but still feeling stuck.

In our work together, we slow down, get curious, and build safety first.

Because body image struggles, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship patterns don’t exist in isolation. They live in the nervous system and in connection.

I currently serve clients located in New York and Vermont via secure telehealth.

What I Treat

How I Can Help

You’re not meant to navigate this alone. In therapy, we’ll explore:

Relationships & Attachment

Why you’re drawn to certain partners, why conflict feels triggering, and how past relationships influence the ones you choose now.
Learn to set boundaries, communicate clearly, and choose connections that feel safe and mutual.

Self-Worth, Confidence & Identity

If you’ve spent years adapting, performing, people-pleasing, or minimizing your needs, we’ll rebuild your sense of self so you can show up authentically — not as the “chill girl,” the fixer, or the overthinker.

Anxiety & Overthinking

Learn how your body responds to stress, slow the spiral, and build tools to regulate in the moment.
Together we’ll use CBT, IFS, somatic work, and attachment-based therapy.

Body Image & Social Media Pressures

If your inner critic sounds like the algorithm, we’ll challenge comparison, honor your lived experience, and create a healthier relationship with your body and self-image.

Breaking Generational & Relational Patterns

Undo what you learned in survival mode, and rewrite the patterns you don’t want to pass forward.

“Donnie is an incredible therapist; full of empathy and warmth; she makes you feel right at home. Through her relational approach, she supports clients in healing body image, finding inner confidence, and improving the most important relationship - the one with themself. I highly recommend Donnie for young adults who are ready to start therapy!”
