A Direct, Compassionate Approach

My style is approachable, collaborative, and direct. I am not interested in sitting silently behind clinical language or offering one-size-fits-all answers. I want to understand how you experience the world, what has helped you survive, what may no longer be serving you, and what meaningful change would actually look like in your life.

Sometimes that means slowing down and listening closely. Sometimes it means identifying a pattern that has been difficult to see. Sometimes it means trying something new, establishing a boundary, having a difficult conversation, or learning to relate differently to the parts of yourself you have judged or avoided.

Together, we will find an approach that fits you—not force you to fit a particular approach.

Experience That Extends Beyond the Therapy Room

My career has included work in wilderness therapy, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, schools, outpatient clinics, and private practice. These settings have allowed me to work with adolescents, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and major life transitions.

I earned my undergraduate degree from The New School in New York City, with a focus on psychology, and my master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania.

My additional training includes Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused approaches. I am also a certified Psychedelic Assisted Therapist, with specialized training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy through the California Institute of Integral Studies.

These frameworks give us options. Our work will be shaped by your needs, your goals, and the way you make sense of your experience.

My Connection to This Work Is Personal

As an adolescent, I experienced chronic depression, learning challenges, difficulty making friends, low self-confidence, and the fear that I was somehow not normal.

I know how isolating those experiences can feel. I also know they are not limited to adolescence—and they do not always disappear simply because we get older.

As life changes, the strategies that once helped us cope may stop working. We can find ourselves repeating familiar patterns, feeling disconnected from the people around us, or unsure how to move forward.

Therapy creates an opportunity to understand those stuck points without reducing you to a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. The goal is not to turn you into someone else. It is to help you become more fully yourself and more able to participate in the life in front of you.
