After a career teaching English in private and public New York City schools, I became a psychotherapist to promote healing and growth in children, adolescents, and adults. My unique perspective on the school/family/student relationship allows me to help parents and children social, relational, and behavioral development.

Change often emerges under validating and supportive environment. In individual therapy, I thrive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where mutual trust can occur to facilitate clients’ self-discovery. My style is genuine, empathic, and interactive. I listen with curiosity, pay close attention to my clients' verbal and non-verbal expressions, and aim to align my approaches with their priorities and goals. Together, my clients and I seek to unpack and co-construct meaning out of their life events with self-compassion. I am interested in helping clients get on a path toward working through the psychological trappings that are getting in their way.

In couples therapy, I work toward providing a safe environment to help clients and their partner(s) listen to one another better and communicate more constructively. I am interested in facilitating true emotional engagement for all parties. Attending to relationship dynamics and their family histories, I guide couples to address each partner’s attachment needs.

I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The City College of New York and have experience working in public and private hospitals, community mental health centers, and college counseling centers. I am also an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor in the Clinical Psychology PhD Program at The City College of New York and a post-degree candidate of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis at NYU.

I work with adults and adolescents. Some of the issues I work with are anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as well as grief and loss. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and integration sessions. I’m an LGBTQ-affirming clinician and have experience working with issues particular to LGBTQ+ folks.

I believe that physical and emotional safety and connection within a therapeutic relationship can help clients access and heal their relationships with themselves and others. For this reason, I deeply value the relationship I form with clients.

I believe that with intention and openness, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can create space for the emergence of inner healing intelligence. Along with awareness, practice, insight, and self-compassion, KAP offers clients an opportunity to see themselves and others from a new perspective. KAP also enables new neural pathways to grow, supporting healthier habits of mind and behavior.
