BA, MSEd
The therapeutic process often begins with a seemingly simple question: what do you want for yourself?
Whether that’s hard to answer or you know what you want but feel trapped in cycles that keep you stuck, therapy is where we get to unravel those knots. Challenges with connection or reaching your goals are often the echoes of developmental trauma—protective strategies that once kept you safe but no longer serve you. In our work together, we will start by clarifying your vision for your life today. With compassion and curiosity, we will take a depth-oriented approach to exploring old adaptations and strengthening your internal agency so you can step out of those loops and live in greater alignment with what you truly want for yourself.
My clinical approach is rooted in an attachment-based, trauma-informed orientation which integrates psychodynamic, somatic, and cognitive behavioral therapies with a foundation in affective neuroscience. Some of the primary theories that inform my work include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Before following my passion into clinical counseling, I spent over a decade building programs designed to foster purpose, agency, and belonging across global non-profit and corporate environments. I completed my BA at the University of Virginia and earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Hunter College in my home state of New York. Outside the therapy room, you can find me wandering through Prospect Park, watching PBS Masterpiece mysteries, or catching a stand-up show at the Comedy Cellar.
