Regardless of the challenges you face, I believe you are the expert on you. My role is a supportive one as you identify your needs and work through complicated emotions and life experiences. Our work together is a partnership with shared aims: fewer unwanted emotions and behaviors, and a greater ability to respond to stressors. Whether you experience anxiety, grief, trauma, or interpersonal challenges, I am mindful of the vital influence of one's environment, culture, family system, and identity. My clinical work is grounded in developmental psychology, neuroscience, attachment theory, and existential inquiry.
I began my career in academia, first as a Secondary Teacher, then as a Professor and Director of Education at Yale University and Barnard College at Columbia University. In these roles, I led teams in under-resourced communities domestically and internationally with a focus on mental and emotional health, family and community systems, and equity.
I strive to know my clients well and appreciate the vulnerability involved in sharing one’s personal narrative. I approach each individual with empathy, dignity, and a desire for others to feel safe, understood, confident, and hopeful for positive change.
