My counseling approach is eclectic and trauma-informed. A key focus of my practice is building a trusting relationship, creating a space where you feel comfortable to explore yourself and your emotions fully. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS). Through IFS, we will explore the various parts of yourself that make you whole. I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques to enhance emotional regulation and awareness.
My approach is more nontraditional than the traditional "blank slate" model, fostering a more genuine, relatable, and approachable therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where we can thoughtfully collaborate on your personal growth and help you feel empowered to lead a fulfilling life.
Feel free to text my office at 917-426-1521 if you'd like to get started or have questions. If using insurance, our office manager is happy to check your benefits for you and lay out a fee structure. We also submit all claims for you and advocate for higher reimbursement rates on your behalf. We work with PPO and POS plans with out of network benefits.

I view everything through a feminist and multicultural lens, recognizing that many therapeutic techniques and theories were developed by straight, cis, white men, often not considering how diverse identities, marginalization, and societal factors impact our mental health.
