Greenpoint Location & Telehealth

As a therapist, I am passionate about providing space for my clients to explore the full range of their experiences and to find more satisfaction, authenticity, and connection in their lives. I would be honored to accompany you on the path toward that place.

I tend to see the majority of behaviors and patterns that cause distress as creative ways we have learned to cope with life experiences, cultural and familial legacies, relationships, and social influences. My goal is to join with you and collaborate together to create a space of compassion, curiosity, and safety that is adaptive to your unique needs, helps you uncover the wisdom behind your distress, and encourages you in making the changes you seek.

As a trauma-informed therapist and certified yoga teacher, I am attuned to the impacts of stress and trauma on our bodies and nervous systems, and with specialized training in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology, I integrate mindfulness and somatic approaches (as indicated) to support you in connecting to your inner experience–-to the unique wisdom that you hold. I work with adults across a range of areas including intimacy/attachment issues, anxiety and depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, self-esteem, grief/loss, and trauma, and I have particular experience working with LGBTQIA+ folks and providing CNM-affirming care. Some folks describe my style as warm, open, intuitive, and genuine.

I use an integrative therapeutic approach that draws from psychodynamic psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and intersectional-feminist/multicultural theories. No matter the modality, I hope to embrace the uniqueness of each individual and consider the systemic and cultural influences on diverse, lived experiences.
