I offer in-person and telehealth sessions, and am licensed in the states of NJ, NY a...

You want more than standard cookie-cutter therapy. You want therapy that is personalized for you and about you. You want therapy that fits into your stress...

In therapy, I strive to create space where clients may explore their inner landscapes and make sense of themselves in their relationships and larger social contexts. I believe that most people have parts of themselves that are affirmed and other parts that have gone underground — perhaps as a result of relational injury, lack of environmental mirroring, or trauma. I seek to develop a supportive relationship where clients can begin to see the unseen and speak the unspeakable and, with self compas...
