Areas of Focus

Our earliest blueprint for connection is drafted by our parents - whether they were there or not, attuned or not, loving or not. Our patterns of relationship are directly informed by our family of origin. And there is so much wisdom in uncovering what that means for you.

If you were raised or neglected by parents who placed the burden of their emotions onto you, you may still playing out those inhibiting, unfair dynamics today. It would make sense if you struggle to set boundaries and are prone to people pleasing. It would make sense if you keep everyone who cares about you at arm's length.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and psychodynamic theory to help my clients deepen their understanding of these patterns, gain insight into their attachment style, and make the very changes that their parents did not have the courage to make so that they can break the cycle and live more abundant, truly connected lives.

OCD can be overwhelming, all-consuming, lonely, and exhausting. It makes us question ourselves and our values on a regular basis. It disconnects us from the people that matter most to us. It can feel shameful, and hard to face.

Let’s face it together.

I use a curated blend of Exposure and Response Therapy (ERP) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which allows people to change their relationship to their OCD, and the distress that comes with it, so that they can tap into a greater sense of peace and ease.

There is more to you than your OCD.

Our bodies are protective. They are swift in their ability to keep us as safe as possible. Often what keeps us safe in a dangerous moment or dangerous relationship is also what keeps us disconnected from honoring our needs and trusting our Self.

There was a time in my life where trauma colored my world gray and hazy. I went through the motions, got through the day, compulsively analyzed my choices, and kept all meaningful connections at bay. It took me so long to realize that life was meant to be experienced in color. But when I did, oh how everything opened up for me.

If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Shall we begin?

It is always my honor to witness a person or a partnership unlock a new level of relational understanding.

In both individual and couples therapy, I use an integration of theory and actionable techniques to help people deepen that awareness, show up to conflict differently, communicate better with their partner or partners, shift their limiting patterns of connection, and live in abundant love.

I am LGBTQ+ allied, as well as kink and ENM affirming. Your story is yours to write, your life is yours to live. It is deeply important to me that you feel safe in our work together.

I've been the person who played small, sacrificed her needs, said yes when I wanted to say no, sought non-verbal clues in conversation to figure out if I was doing it "right" or "wrong". It was exhausting.

It got in the way of me sharing all that I had within me, and if this sounds familiar, my guess is that's happening for you too.

I use an integrated blend of relational + somatic therapy, as well as creative modalities to help my clients tap into their innate courage, learn to take up space, set boundaries, reduce relational burnout, advocate for their needs, and live more empowered, authentic lives.

Having worked many years in corporate and tech spaces, I am intimately familiar with the unique challenges on ambitious New Yorkers, especially those in high-visibility roles.

I use a blend of therapy + coaching to help leaders and dreamers harness their experiences, communicate clearly, reduce their risk of burnout, guide their teams with purpose, define their own success, and connect with their careers in a values-aligned way.

It can feel overwhelming to navigate the world experiencing intense emotions and unstable relationships. You’re not alone. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy, with a particular focus on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My goal is to help you discover a path to emotional resilience and healthier relationships. I'd be honored to guide you to a more balanced, grounded daily life.

Our bodies are hardwired to resist change (even good change!). Transition and loss are both tremendously challenging to our nervous system, which tricks us into thinking that we're not safe, we'll never survive, or that we're not enough. We might find ourselves wishing time away and wanting things to all fall into place, but what do we do in the present moment?

Allow me to hold space with you. In that space we can explore tools and techniques to ground you and soothe you in this time of upheaval or confusion. I will be with you as you move through the growing or grieving pains, so that you deepen your self-understanding through the process.

*This is not a separate category from those above, but it is deserving of its own space.

Men are statistically far less likely to reach out for help and start therapy. It is specifically important to me that I create space for male-identifying people to explore their unique lived experience, and take intentional care of their own mental health.

The burden of "masculinity" as society defines it can be incredibly heavy and confusing. I work with many men who are are curious about themselves,, if who are craving a life that feels both masculine and authentic, and who want to redefine what it means to show up as a man in their personal relationships and in the world..
