I believe strong relationships can foster meaningful change and growth. I have worked with folks to improve their well-being through focused, short-term therapy; others have benefited from longer, in-depth work to find success coping with interpersonal challenges, self-esteem, identity, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach integrates a variety of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy(AEDP) – tailored to meet your needs. I aim to provide an accepting and judgement-free space to work in collaboration and explore how to create the life that you want.

I have extensive experience working with individuals and loved ones impacted by substance and behavioral addictions. I have a special interest in women's health including infertility. My practice is LGBTQ+-affirming, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds and life experiences.

I received my MSW from NYU, an MA in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and an BA in history from Wesleyan University. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a corporate design professional, worked in architecture, and ran a small business. I am currently licensed to see clients residing in NY and NJ.
