Vulnerability allows for a transformative experience. Nothing you bring to the session is "too much" or “too little”, I will always celebrate your honesty with genuine empathy and curiosity. I believe that we must feel our feelings deeply to inspire insight, growth, and change. Our collaborative efforts involve delving into your thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors to better understand your internal world. Together, we will work to help you identify distressing beliefs and cycles, build upon your strengths, and navigate how you'd like to change the patterns that no longer serve you.

Grief and trauma in children or adults can result in strong feelings that disrupt daily life and one's experience of safety. Similarly anxiety and depression may deprive one of the ability to live life with a sense of agency, flexibility, and pleasure. In therapy, I seek to engage you in an ongoing dialogue to discover who you are, what shaped you, and what continues to influence you. Our relationship serves as a vehicle for you to discover your narrative and live a more satisfying life with fulfilling relationships, play, and purpose.

I work with individuals who are curious and motivated to explore themselves and connect more deeply with their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Therapy can help you understand and accept yourself, identify recurring patterns in your behavior, and process difficult experiences like trauma, grief, and shame. It’s a space to explore hidden parts of yourself, gain insight, and build emotional resilience. I create a safe, non-judgmental environment, balancing warmth with thoughtful questions to foster clarity and self-awareness.

I believe it’s a privilege to be part of a process that helps clients identify strategies that can lead to a more fulfilling life and uncover a greater sense of freedom and agency. I believe that therapy must involve exploring and integrating clients’ cultural context and identities in understanding their lived experiences and addressing their concerns. I have extensive experience working collaboratively with clients of diverse backgrounds to identify goals of treatment and explore meaningful, culturally relevant, psychodynamic and other innovative evidence-based interventions.

I work well with most people, especially members of sexual, ethnic or other minorities, creative types, people of mixed race or orientation, those who are not easily categorized and don't wish to be. Many of my clients are original thinkers working in creative fields. My work is connecting with you: that's how new ideas and possibilities arise. I enjoy collaborating with people who know what they want and are active participants in therapy. Human sexuality, relationships and social systems fascinate me. For those who practice Buddhism +/or yoga, you can talk about your practice. I practice too. I'm Licensed in NY, NJ, CT, PA & FLA.

We all go through periods of intense stress, worry, or sadness. If you're finding it difficult to cope, therapy can help you grow through these experiences, toward fulfillment. In my work, I've found that people are most open to exploration and change when they have a partner they trust in that process. When a client brings me their story, we work together to understand it, through trust, humor, creativity, and perseverance.
