My approach to psychotherapy and wellness is informed by somatic, relational, attachment, and Jungian psychotherapies and theories, and plenty of those acronyms we use in the field. But perhaps most crucially, it is informed by my own life experience and healing process, and my sincere wish to support others who are also making their way (with a healthy dose of humor because there has to be some lightness in all of this, right?) While I lead with curiosity and compassion, I tend to be more direct in my approach because I feel that sometimes the best care that we can receive is the bluntest. And while that’s true, I’m also invested in trying to balance out the inherent power imbalance between me and my clients, so I’m open to discussion and questions. It’s ultimately your life, and not mine!

I’m a graduate of Columbia University (MSW, 2017) and Wesleyan University (BA in English, 2014), and am licensed in New York State to practice as a psychotherapist. Through my offerings, I provide individual and group support on my own or for organizations, both domestically and internationally (and of course, virtually, either way.)

Outside of my business, I currently work as a psychotherapist for individuals and couples, and I am the clinical supervisor for couples and family therapy, at Holistic Psychotherapy NYC. I’m also a co-author of College Mental Health 101: A Guide for Students, Parents, and Professionals with Dr. Christopher Willard and Dr. Blaise Aguirre.

Previously, I worked as a counselor for men and trans women in the New York City jail system, as Mental Health Educator at Wesleyan University, and was a barista up to the two-Michelin-star level before saying goodbye to the service industry.

Some of the trainings that I have attended include:

  • 9-day International Intensive Training in Nonviolent Communication

  • 450 hours of yoga, Ayurveda, and meditation Yoga Alliance-approved trainings

  • Internal Family Systems with Dr. Frank Anderson

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with Dr. Lane Pederson

  • Basic Principles of Somatic Experiencing with Dr. Shideh Lennon, SEP

  • Nonviolent Communication Leadership Course with Miki Kashtan

  • Fundamentals of Astrology with Austin Coppock

As far as regular everyday things go, I love to dance, read, travel, learn just about anything at all, and am interested in Nordic culture (I hope to be fluent in Norwegian, Danish, and Icelandic eventually… I’m getting there.) All of the artwork featured on the website is from one of my favorite artists, Helen Frankenthaler.
