Currently accepting new clients. I am trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which has roots in and resonances with many disciplines, including attachment theory, the neuroscience of feelings and body-focused approaches.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY currently providing video psychotherapy sessions.

I approach psychotherapy holistically, integrating models such as Internal Family Systems Theory, The Ackerman Relational Approach and Trauma Theory. Working in an environment focused on social justice, it is important to me to be able to help clients navigate issues related to experiences of racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and sexism. My intent is to work collaboratively with clients to develop and support their own personal goals and journey of healing.
