Sometimes we find ourselves caught in painful patterns, unable to see a way out or even know where to start. I believe therapy works best when rooted in a strong, trusting partnership to create a space where we can slow down, look clearly at what is going on, and collaboratively map out a path forward.
My approach to therapy is person-centered, meaning that I tailor the process to your goals. I utilize tools from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping you become aware of negative thought patterns, increase emotional resilience, and build an intentional life.
I’ve also been shaped by a personal practice in Zen Buddhism. I’ve completed a year-long course in contemplative caregiving, attended retreats, and volunteered in end-of-life care settings. I bring a sense of grounding and presence to my therapy practice.
I am currently pursuing a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia Teachers College, and have received a Bachelor of Arts from Bowdoin College in Political Science.
I previously worked as a podcast producer for ABC News. My background in narrative journalism informs my process now. I love exploring complex narratives and piecing together a meaningful personal story. I’m also well-versed in the stresses of navigating a non-stop news cycle, something many of us struggle with on a day-to-day basis.
When I’m not working, you can find me out at the park, taking an improv comedy class, biking around Brooklyn, or surfing in the Rockaways.
