Are you looking to slow things down inside when your world seems never to stop? In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

Healing requires both the space to go within, a relational home, in which to find wholeness in. In sessions, we create a safe, emotional space, welcoming all your human parts, in order to discover and work toward your goals. If you have ever wanted to bring more of your true self into all areas of your life, I get it. I specialize in helping with this.

Born in NYC to immigrant parents, I’m aware of the stigma associated with mental health and its complexities. As a breathwork facilitator, trained in two powerful forms of somatic, experiential psychotherapies designed to promote deep connection to Self and others, I enjoy working with holistic, integrative modalities that deepen our mind-body connection.
