My theory is that a combination of a deeper understanding of self, coupled with practical skills, can lead to desired personality change, sustained self-discovery and curiosity, and relief. I utilize a modern relational and collaborative approach along with CBT skills, psychodynamic theory, and a host of trauma-informed practices. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle to regulate emotions and mood, are experiencing interpersonal issues, existential dread, anxiety, depression, chronic suicidality, and/or have experienced childhood trauma.
I provide ongoing individual psychotherapy for ages 18+, psychotherapy for children (ages 6-17), and their families, following a disclosure of abuse, crisis check-ins, and psychedelic Integration sessions for recent/past psychedelic experiences. Additionally, I have valued experience working with Trans folks, BIPOC, LGBTQ folks, and polyamorous folks.
I have extensive training in CBT-based therapies, a variety of evidence-based practices, and modern psychodynamic psychotherapy. My previous work experiences include Bellevue Hospital Center, New York University, and City University NY in New York City. When I am not in private practice, I work evenings at the Emergency Department at Legacy Health.
