Accepting new clients in-person/online. I believe that therapy is not a "one size fits all” process. Every person is a complex individual, and every relationship is unique. I offer therapy with a non-judgmental, anti-racist, strength-based, affirming approach, and adapt treatment to my clients’ values and make up, including gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. As an active partner I will always be on your side, but I will also challenge you when necessary. My experience is extensive, diverse, and contemporary, and my past in Creative and Producing for Film and Advertising brings a unique perspective to my practice.

In the words of Brene Brown, “vulnerability is not weakness, it is our greatest measure of courage”. Therapy success rates are often dictated by the 'ideal client-therapist fit'. Whatever your concern is, let’s talk it through and see if we are a good fit to collaboratively work through the challenges that you are facing. Throughout the therapy process clients should feel heard, validated, proactively motivated, and empowered. With each patient I utilize a case-specific approach, tailoring evidence-based clinical modalities for a customized and effective therapy experience.

I'm currently accepting new clients in-person in Manhattan, and virtually in NY state.

Creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental and collaborative space for growth and healing is my primary objective as a therapist. Who you are and what you have experienced is unique, and so will be your path to healing. I offer both short-term treatment to focus on a specific issue in your life, or longer-term talk and somatic therapy to delve into deeper issues that impact your relationships or mental and emotional wellbeing. I am both trained in and provide Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapies.
