Whether you are looking for short-term treatment or longer-term psychotherapy, I support adults and young people navigate life’s challenges with an open and non-judgmental stance. The common thread throughout my extensive clinical experience is change. I enjoy supporting clients as they adjust, cope, and thrive across various transitions that come - relationships, families, career, school, environment, and ourselves/bodies as we develop and age. We will collaborate on your goals using a variety of techniques such as art therapy, psychotherapy, and mindfulness-based practices.
I am a licensed psychotherapist in New York and Maryland, with 25 years of experience. I am a board-certified, art therapist (ATR-BC) as credentialed by the Art Therapy Credentials Board. I have additional clinical training in time-limited dynamic psychotherapy.
My caring and straightforward approach is well-suited for those who are ready to work with a therapist who sees you as the expert of your own experiences and would benefit from a therapist who acts as a collaborator. I look forward to working with adults and young people who are seeking therapy for the first time or those who are returning to therapy.

Art therapy is a way to express what words cannot. Creating art in the presence of a trained art therapist can provide valuable information and insights to better understand our emotions and how we relate to ourselves and others. No art experience or special materials are necessary. I also provide verbal psychotherapy, grounded in socially just, feminist, and multicultural practices.
