People who work with me are often looking for longer-term therapy, where we address deeper issues in a safe relationship, at your own pace. We may work well together if you are coping with a difficult family, relationship trouble, recurrent mental health problems (e.g. PTSD, BPD, MDD), or a life transition (e.g. grief, break-up, parenting, career change, spiritual/religious crisis). I also work with people seeking individual therapy that makes room for the big problems of our time. You may wish to explore working with me if part of your distress concerns climate change, politics, discrimination, or other collective stressors.
I am trained in several types of therapy (ACT, DBT, relational, multicultural-feminist) and apply them flexibly based on what you need. I am also a climate-aware and social justice-focused therapist; this means your experience with systemic problems like white supremacy and the climate crisis is a welcome, respected, and important part of therapy.
I don't take insurance, but I offer sliding scale fees based on financial need. If you think we may work well together, please reach out! I offer a 15-minute free consultation and I would love to hear your story.

I typically work well with people who feel curious about themselves and our world. I also enjoy working with those who feel ambiguous about therapy or feel therapy isn't "for me." Deep feelers, practical problem-solvers, and folks working through difficult families are also very welcome. Does this align with your needs? Email or call (646) 859-0283.
