I’m a psychotherapist based in New York City, working with individuals and couples to foster connection, healing, and greater life satisfaction.

My focus is on relationships—helping clients improve communication, deepen connection, and navigate interpersonal challenges. I also support those dealing with anxiety, burnout, career stress, life transitions, boundary issues, and depression.

Treatment is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, relational therapy, and other experiential approaches.

My practice is anti-oppressive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and rooted in social justice values. I earned my degree from NYU’s School of Social Work and have advanced training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family.
