I’m a licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience helping clients reconnect with their core self and build more authentic, fulfilling relationships. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, socially conscious lens, integrating AEDP, IFS, and somatic approaches. I specialize in working with high-achieving adults navigating anxiety, relational challenges, and the lasting impact of trauma. I offer virtual therapy for clients across New York and California.

As a certified relational psychoanalyst, I help patients build whole selves, healthy relationships, and full lives.

I believe change happens as self trust grows through honesty, accountability, radical acceptance, and forgiveness. I work with folks in the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, sex workers, and creatives. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, life transitions, PTSD, OCD, and ADHD. My approach is collaborative and culturally sensitive, honoring the complexity of identity and lived experience.

I am a creative art therapist, working with those who have anxiety, developmental/intergenerational trauma and high sensitivity (HSP). My practice weaves together mindfulness, trauma-informed practices and creative, embodied practices to help my clients feel more confident, able to move out of stuck patterns, and more connected to themselves and others.

I am the founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery which focuses primarily on intimacy and relationships. What I have found is that without a sense of intimacy with oneself, people can’t fully experience intimacy with someone else. Our hearts are fragile, so we develop strategies to keep them safe and avoid getting hurt. Often, these strategies later become maladaptive and hold us back from achieving the connection and intimacy we are actually seeking. The Center for Intimacy Recovery helps clients to find ways to have the intimacy and connection in life that they are seeking. To gain a better understanding around healthy sexuality and treatment for compulsive and destructive sexual behaviors and the trauma created through intimate betrayal, have studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute where I have studied healthy sexuality. I have also studied with the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals where I became a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.
