I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalyst in the Flatiron District of New York who specializes in anxiety, depression, life transitions, complex trauma, women's issues, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I enjoy working with adults of all ages who seek to understand and overcome self-defeating patterns, access inner resources and strengths, and connect to a deeper sense of self.

As a humanist, I believe in the inherent worth to every single human being. I am guided by the ethos of a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and it is with each movement that we get closer to where we want to be. Through intentional effort we encounter change, embrace healing, and a foster a fruitful fulfilling life.

I’m a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and drama therapist who works with women and young adults navigating anxiety, eating disorder recovery, substance use, and life transitions.

I have experience in inpatient rehab and use a harm reduction, nonjudgmental approach. My work combines talk therapy with creative techniques when helpful—though there’s no pressure to be “artistic.”

Life begins when you know who you are. But the path to self-knowledge can be fraught and hard to find. “Be yourself,” “create yourself,” “find yourself”–these are some of the injunctions that might waylay any earnest seeker. When we learn to sit with the uncomfortable parts of self–the parts that make us want to crawl out of our skin–revelation can occur.

Talk therapy can be a place to learn how to be interested in ourselves and in our past. When we learn to love ourselves the way we wish to be loved, our relationships can flourish. We can deepen our genuine interest in others. When it works, psychotherapy can inspire incredible capacity and resolve to bend towards the future and embrace change.

I graduated from Duke University and received my PhD at New York University. I trained at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis and the Institute for Expressive Analysis. I've been immersed in psychodynamic treatment for years working with people of diverse ages & backgrounds struggling with trauma, depression, substance abuse, sexual difficulties, relationships problems, women's issues, among other concerns.
