Great to meet you!

I'm a NYC-based psychotherapist and certified couples/family therapist seeing clients both in-person and remotely.

A bit about my approach to therapy

You'll find me warm and focused, always integrating my approach to the person(s) in front of me, whom I am eager to meet on their terms, and sensitively challenge when it's appropriate.

What you can expect from our first session

We'll start with your sharing some lifespan/family background and then determine what tools, trauma work and dedicated time is necessary to see the improvements you want in your life or relationship. There is no pressure to show up to the first session of therapy with a list of all of your needs--We can figure that out together.
