After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Pennsylvania, I earned a Master's degree in Child Development from Sarah Lawrence College, and a Master's in Social Work degree from New York University. I was awarded a post-graduate fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center. I consider it a great privilege to be with clients as they come to crucial insights about themselves and identify progress in their lives.
My approach is tailored to meet a client's needs based on a their goals and symptoms. I use psychodynamic therapy, which explores the importance of early and current relationships and involves self-reflection, self-examination, and learning how you might be engaging in certain patterns. I also use CBT, which helps to identify negative thought patterns and offers actionable tools to shift behaviors. Mindfulness is also a cornerstone of my practice to support clients in becoming more present.
I am passionate about establishing a positive relationship with clients and providing a unique supportive approach that incorporates a client's strengths, relational world, dreams, and where they find meaning.
I aim to create a containing, supportive, safe space to process whatever clients bring to session or find they need to reflect on as they explore. I like to support clients in taking the lead in their session as they are the experts in their own lives.
