Feeling “I’m not enough,” “I don’t belong,” or “Why can’t I just get past this?” is more common than you might think. Whether you’re a college student or young adult struggling with anxiety, depression, or big life transitions, you deserve a safe space to be your true self—unfiltered and unapologetic.

I work with young adults of all colors, creeds, and misdeeds, who are trying to figure out their life—romantically, vocationally, spiritually—but feel themselves stressed or a bit stuck. I draw upon years of clinical experience as well as a background in theoretical psychology, contemporary psychoanalysis, and philosophy to help clients tap wells of deep feeling, reserves of potential and strength, so they can get moving again. I like to assist with this, therapy as the project of imagining one's life and possibilities anew. To me, it's as creative and gratifying as it gets, and if you're reading this maybe it appeals to you too.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
My ideal client is someone who has built a full, functioning life—career, relationships, responsibilities—while carrying experiences that haven’t been fully processed. They may appear strong and capable, yet feel the quiet impact of past trauma, painful relationships, or unresolved experiences beneath the surface.
They don’t necessarily want to “start over” or dismantle their life. They want relief. They want to understand themselves more clearly. They want to feel steady, connected, and at peace without losing the stability they’ve worked hard to create.

Do you feel uneasy, tense, or unsafe in your own body? Trapped by your own thoughts and emotions, or a nagging feeling or muscular tension that seem unrelated to your emotional state? I know that feeling; that sensation that we try to ignore but just won’t go away. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, the stress of everyday life or the aftermath of trauma, your body is the container that holds it all—thoughts, feelings, sensations—all our lived experiences that make us who we are. Some of these experiences can help us thrive, feel safe and connected and some can make us feel stuck, uncertain, and reactive.

You may feel emotionally unsettled, internally fragmented, or unsure how to make sense of recurring patterns in your relationships, desires, or sense of self. You might be functioning well on the outside while feeling constrained, disconnected, or quietly dissatisfied inside. Many people who seek my work are thoughtful, psychologically curious, and self-aware, yet sense that understanding alone has not brought the integration or ease they are seeking. Therapy may feel like a way to deepen self-experience, develop greater coherence, and live with more clarity, alignment, and emotional continuity.

You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy. A lot of my clients look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or just mentally drained and need a space to unpack it all.
I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and big life changes. I also support folks impacted by the justice system and families with young kids.
My style is real, supportive, and no-judgment—less clinical, more human. We’ll figure things out together—gaining clarity, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change that is realistic for you.

Accepting New Clients. We provide neuro-affirming, Queer-focused care for AuDHDers, immigrants, and BIPOC adults in Flatiron & Chelsea.

To better serve our community, I supervise Nat, a therapist who deeply understands that there isn't one "right" way for the body and brain to work.

I work with adults who feel stuck in painful patterns in relationships or behavior. Perhaps you’re confused about your reactions to others or feel disconnected from yourself. Maybe you're ready to process past events that have been difficult to talk about. You want to feel grounded, connected to yourself, and able to live in a way that feels authentic. Before working in private practice, I worked in home hospice. Accompanying people through illness and death has given me a reverence for existential questions and transitions–how do we want to live? How do we understand our experiences?

What does the shape of our lives reveal about our ideologies and our narrative of reality? How does psychotherapy help us examine this? The analytic space is dedicated to moving beyond the pressures of institutions and societal constraints that preexist us in order to seek the particular desires and needs in each of us. In treatment, we confront ourselves and our unique experience of the world so that we can explore possibilities for transformation. I am attuned to how one’s suffering may intersect with intimate relationships, inherited traumas, and systemic oppression. I welcome patients from diverse and non-normative backgrounds.

I work well with individuals who are curious about understanding themselves and their patterns more deeply. My practice focuses on adults with ADHD navigating their unique way of thinking and being in the world, high achievers grappling with the constant pressure of perfectionism, and those processing significant breakups or divorce. I also often work with chronic anxiety and complex-trauma. I have particular experience supporting people through these challenges while helping them develop new ways of relating to themselves and their experiences.
