Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m a Psychotherapist and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist based in Brooklyn, NY. I work with people from all walks of life to help them heal old and new wounds and better understand their internal worlds. I bring a compassionate, curious presence to therapy, while also being direct and challenging when it supports your growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach blends trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy with art therapy, and I also draw on body-based techniques, IFS and CBT. I work best with clients who are curious about exploring themselves deeply, going beyond time-limited, skills-focused approaches. I take a trauma-informed, relational and psychodynamic approach to therapy, focusing on deeper patterns and sustainable, meaningful change. Art therapy is something I offer, however it is completely optional and never expected.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance to meet, share what's bringing you in, and get a sense of whether working together feels right. I will ask you a bunch of questions, but there's no pressure to have everything figured out or to tell me your whole story all at once. It's also a chance for you to ask me anything — about my approach, my training, or what therapy with me might look like! There is no question that is off limits- ever.
