I am passionate about helping you create real change from within so you can experience life, sex, intimacy, and relationships as your heart desires. If you want to feel secure, confident, and satisfied in how you relate to intimacy and your relationships, I help you navigate your traumas, fears, wounds, and conditioning around attachment, love & relationships. I help you take your personal power back, remind you of your own inherent wisdom and truth, and teach you how to release the never-ending "broken" "fix it" cycle of self-improvement and repetitive painful experiences.

I provide empathic treatment to teens & women presenting with various clinical needs. An eclectic therapeutic approach is provided, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, play, art & yoga therapies. I provide treatment to those experiencing symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, self-esteem issues, future/career planning, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, or developmental & learning disabilities. I look forward to working with you closely & compassionately to identify your strengths, challenges, & areas to focus emotional energy to move towards growth, healing, & change. Together we will support you to empower & guide you towards goals that will help you feeling more emotionally positive, healthy, & balanced.

I provide an engaging and supportive environment to help you know yourself better and build lasting skills to cope during life's challenges. I work with adults, adolescents, and parent/child. We will work together towards a healthier and happier way of being. In our psychotherapy sessions, I consider our relationship to be an important aspect in our work. I include aspects of art therapy and psychoanalysis and find that a psychodynamic approach has a lasting affect on mood, relationships, behaviors and patterns. I can creatively encourage ways to help you express and untangle your concerns, as well as, bring about change.

I enjoy working with couples who are interested in an open / polyamorous relationship. I have found that short-term therapy can be incredibly useful in setting up these types of arrangements when boundaries, trust, and communication are paramount. I also work with couples who are struggling with these issues in closed relationships. It is my goal to help you develop mutual respect, understanding, and empathic communication. The individuals that I work most effectively with are those experiencing a big life transition (new baby, divorce, job, graduation, etc) with challenges coping or have unresolved trauma of their past bubbling up

We all have experiences that have shaped how we navigate our relationship with ourself and others. Through the use of talk therapy, creative arts therapies, parts work, and EMDR, I work with people to help them identify patterns they want to change, as well as strengths they would like to expand upon. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, substance use, and themes related to sexuality and gender. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and work with adults, teenagers, and couples.

I provide a safe, welcoming place to bring your thoughts and feelings, inner conflicts and concerns and your hopes for change. We will work together to understand patterns that no longer serve you and may be contributing to emotional pain. Whether you have issues around intimacy, relationships, parenting, work dissatisfaction, overcoming creative blocks or overwhelming feelings that keep you from creating a richer, more purposeful life, therapy can be life changing. For children, play therapy in addition to talk can help get to the root of difficult behavior in conflicts with peers, at school and with family.

I am here for you (or your family or couple) to help clarify thoughts and feelings, build tolerance and empathy, strengthen control over behavior, and employ better strategies for connection and freedom. I am an experienced, licensed, Masters-level psychotherapist in NY State, with ten additional (postgraduate) years of institute training, including couple and family therapy (Ackerman Institute for the Family). I have worked for over a decade with adults, couples, children/adolescents, and families.

Hi there! I am a licensed, board-certified psychotherapist and founder of Art Therapy Collective (ATC). I provide therapeutic and professional development services geared towards self-empowerment to overcome the complex challenges of life with a creative approach. I emphasize creative and critical thinking, strength based approaches, and comprehensive cognitive, physical, and emotional healing within the therapeutic process.

My intention is to help clients create the lives they wish for themselves. Living with integrity, agency and authenticity usually entails relinquishing deep seated habits of accommodating others. This often involves grief, depression, identity crises, issues with self-esteem, existential anxiety, creative blocks, life transitions and crises of faith. In addition to moving beyond the residue of past trauma, together we will identify narratives and patterns that are no longer helpful and will focus on what, specifically, YOU want for yourself in this life. I enjoy working with people in the arts.
