In my practice, the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the work. I bring a curious, attuned, and gently challenging presence—one that invites honesty, reflection, and real change. I help clients explore the subtle patterns that shape how they love, connect, and see themselves, with a focus on relationships, body image, and LGBTQ+ identity.
My approach weaves Interpersonal Psychotherapy with IFS and DBT, grounding insight in lived experience. Together, we’ll explore your inner world with compassion and curiosity, helping you understand and soften the parts that have been working so hard to protect you.
I studied at Middlebury College and NYU and am pursuing advanced training at the William Alanson White Institute, deepening my commitment to a thoughtful, relational, and psychodynamic practice.

I'm not in-network with insurance, but I can work with out-of-network benefits, which may lower your costs - sometimes to less than a typical copay. New clients are encouraged to share any financial limitations. If we can't find a workable fee, I'll help connect you with someone who can.
