People form a blueprint for understanding and navigating the world based on their early experiences and relationships. These blueprints often shape the symptoms and repetitive patterns that bring people to therapy. I work with clients to develop insight into these patterns, give voice to previously unspoken experiences, and ultimately, to find more adaptive and fulfilling ways of being in the world. My aim is to support clients in reaching their personal goals while deepening their understanding of themselves and their relationships.
I believe a genuine therapeutic relationship is central to effective treatment. I prioritize building a strong, authentic connection with each client and use that relationship to create a sense of safety, explore patterns as they emerge in real time, and tailor treatment to each person’s needs and goals. As your therapist, I bring thoughtfulness, directness, and a sense of humor to this process.
My style is interactive, transparent, and collaborative. I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective and integrate techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to balance deeper exploratory work with practical skill-building. I also lead DBT skills groups and offer short-term DBT coaching for clients seeking more structured support.
I welcome people of all backgrounds into my practice, including those who identify as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. I invite exploration of identity and remain attentive to how our respective identities may shape the therapeutic relationship.
In addition to my clinical work, I serve as Director of Strategy and Development at Therapists of New York. In this role, I support the growth and direction of the practice, including developing new clinical offerings, strengthening training and supervision, and expanding access to high-quality, thoughtful care.
