Hello! I am a NY State Licensed Creative Arts Therapist. For over a decade, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults individually and in group settings.

As a psychodynamic, trauma-informed therapist and psychoanalyst, I offer a space to explore relationships and the roles one plays in them, honoring strengths and uncovering the meanings that underlie challenging areas. Goals would include connecting thoughts and emotions, to enhance insight into how one moves through one's life and to increase healthier coping skills to stressors. I value diversity including but not limited to race, religion, sexuality, gender, and culture, working to understand how these aspects of identity influence a person’s experience of themselves, to provide an environment that fosters continuous growth in all areas of being.
