I am so glad you found my profile. Starting therapy takes courage and finding the right therapist can feel daunting. Believe it or not, before I was a therapist I was a plumber. That work still informs how I approach work with patients. We can't just address what is on the surface. We have to also understand what blocks pathways to meaningful behavioral change. Patients who reach out are often, like me, members of the queer community. Queer folks often navigate unique challenges to our core identities, which can be hard to explore with therapists whose backgrounds are uncertain. I am openly queer and affirming in my work.
I provide evidence-based treatments (CBT and DBT) while staying present and authentic with patients. I strive to create a space where patients can deepen self-understanding and explore new ways of thinking and being. Also, as a faculty member at Weill Cornell Medicine, I conduct research and mentor psychology students to provide strengths-based care.
I encourage you to reach out for a consultation if you are curious to learn more about me or have any further questions about how therapy can help you. I love connecting with potential patients to discuss ways they could shape their time in therapy and pursue a life worth living.

I identify as a relational psychologist and believe in having a genuine relationship with patients, one where both our identities are present in the therapy space. In therapy with me, you'll encounter humor, authenticity, and empathy, as well as challenges to the way you see the world. I want to help you build a life worth living and to pursue the goals and the relationships you value most.

I combine evidence-based therapies, namely Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, with an authentic relational approach. We'll explore the influence of early development and relationships on how you understand yourself and others, and challenge un-affirming perceptions and patterns, helping you practice new skills to see both emotional and behavioral change.
