I’m a licensed psychotherapist, life long New Yorker, and intensely curious human. I work with individuals, couples, and families motivated understand themselves better, and live happier, fuller lives. I work with clients in the immediate aftermath of a crisis or loss, as well as those interested in improving insight and self-awareness, setting long-term goals, and exploring existential issues.
I believe that people are complex and don’t fit easily into boxes, so I take care to tailor each session to reflect the specific needs of the client, both in the moment and in the context of larger goals. I view our work together through the lens of improving self-awareness, communication skills, and empathy. Believing that positive relationships are vital to moving through the world effectively, I make space for you to try on different perspectives and practice new skills.
I believe deeply in every person’s inherent value and capacity for change. I embrace radical nonjudgment and value neutrality as tools to allow for vulnerability and self-exploration. I use our first few sessions to build a therapeutic relationship based on respect for your fundamental worth which allows us to explore potential areas for growth and improvement without unproductive feelings of guilt, shame, or embarrassment.
