Great to meet you!

By nature, I am a grounded, thoughtful, warm, and humorous person, who will approach our work together with genuine curiosity, openness, kindness, and empathy. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and am a practicing, licensed Psychologist in California and New York. My special interests and expertise are in treating mood issues & life adjustments, existential & spiritual issues, human sexuality & LGBTQ+ experiences, and trauma.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize an eclectic frameworks in therapy that are ultimately guided by your needs and responsiveness. To name a few, I regularly utilize these modalities and interventions: somatic (body-oriented) psychotherapy, EMDR, mindfulness, holistic/transpersonal, psychodynamic approaches, CBT, and Parts Work or Gestalt.

What you can expect from our first session

It is my hope that through this holistic approach you are able to explore both what causes suffering and also what brings you peace. Therapy can help you gain a deeper, enriched understanding of the self and of those around you. It is first through understanding and awareness that we can begin to create lasting change.
