Therapy With Me

I work with a diversity of clients managing challenges related to life transitions, sex and intimacy in relationships, non-monogamy, infertility, grief, trauma, work/career, and parenting. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community, people living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses, and people managing anxiety. I tend to be conversational, collaborative, and engaged during sessions, encouraging open dialogue that fosters honest sharing. I also value feedback and regularly check in because I find that it deepens our work together. My goal is to support you on your unique journey of personal growth and self-discovery, and I am dedicated to providing identity-affirming, anti-oppressive care. 

Modality & Approach

 

Individuals & Couples

I work with both individuals and couples, with training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems. In couples therapy, we’ll work together toward your goals, whether they include gaining clarity on expectations, exploring intrinsic patterns and behaviors, or deepening your connection with each other.

Tailored to You

With therapy, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I use different types of therapy based on your preferences and goals. This might include Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I often use a mind-body approach, supporting you in naming emotions and where they show up in the body.

Collaborative & Identity-Affirming

I view myself not as an expert or authority figure, but as a collaborative and supportive partner in our work. You know what’s best for you, so while we can both lean on my training and experience as a clinician, we’ll keep in mind that you’re the expert on your life. I strive to always practice cultural humility and create a space that is free of judgment.

Professional Background

For the first 10 years of my career, I worked in brand marketing for fintech startups. My passion for mental health and social justice led me to pursue a Master of Social Work at NYU, and I’ve since deepened my training in Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, and other evidence-based modalities.
