I believe the therapist-client relationship relies on mutual trust which is earned, not given. Having clear and measurable goals provides a strong foundation and accountability for our time together. With mutual trust and clear goals, I will help you build bridges between the unrealistic ideal self and the authentic self. Together we will explore and challenge ‘automatic’ routines and responses, develop discomfort tolerance and practice self-compassion. I offer radical acceptance, self-efficacy, compassion, empathy, trust, pushback, and validation.
I love challenging the traditional image of a therapist: therapy shouldn’t be stiff and impersonal. In sessions, I bring my personality into the room, embracing a 'seriously unserious' style that thrives on genuine curiosity and enthusiastic engagement.
When I’m not at work you’ll find me planning a ski trip, on the NYT Cooking app, or walking my bernedoodle on the Lower East Side. While I take a multifaceted theoretical approach, I’ve done focused studies in REBT and EMDR. If you're particularly interested in using EMDR for trauma reprocessing, please mention this when you reach out.
