I’m passionate about humanity. Fundamentally I believe we are all ‘just walking each other home’ meaning we need one another to provide warmth and clarity along the journey of life.
Psychotherapy to me is an opportunity to gain clarity into patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Every human develops patterns that at some point stop working for them and can lead to feelings of all kinds of different things. That is being human. It is okay to want to gain clarity. It’s actually so brave and cool to explore the depths of yourself. Witnessing the change that occurs from the inside out is what fuels my passion for my work. My clients experience freedom and I get to see it.
I’ve been at this for a while now. Approaching each person as an individual through an integrative and holistic lens while using an eclectic blend of modalities of therapy works. That’s my professional lens.
My personal lens? I journey right beside you. You’ll get to know bits of my human experience along the way. In the words of Joan Dideon, “I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be.” Continuing to grow and evolve is not just something I do as my day job–it is something I deeply value for myself as well. Aspects of me that have never changed are my love of libraries and reading, candles, the change of the seasons, the mountains, the ocean, the desert, the energy of Manhattan, a sense of home, my family and my deep passion for social justice.
I deeply respect what I do and the people that walk through my door. I look forward to knowing you.

RIGHT TO RECEIVE A GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE OF EXPECTED CHARGES” UNDER THE NO SURPRISES ACT UNDER THE LAW, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS NEED TO GIVE PATIENTS WHO DON’T HAVE INSURANCE OR WHO ARE NOT USING INSURANCE AN ESTIMATE OF THE BILL FOR MEDICAL ITEMS AND SERVICES
