About My Clients
I use a collaborative and eclectic approach to help adults of all ages reach their full potential. I meet each individual with empathy and curiosity, using a non-judgmental approach where clients are invited to safely explore their emotions and struggles. I have supported clients to identify and set boundaries, honor their needs, and unlock their innate capabilities. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic processing, and meaning-making.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing virtually in New York. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Washington University in St. Louis before going on to have a career in recruiting and finance. I eventually returned to school to earn my Masters in Social Work from Hunter College and completed my fellowship training at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I spent the past few years providing counseling services to people with cancer, their caregivers, and the recently bereaved through the non-profit CancerCare. My unique background and training enables me to offer personalized care that addresses a wide range of interpersonal and structural issues, from career path obstacles to long-term illness and grief.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that therapy is the process of examining the patterns in your life, your interactions and communication with others, how you feel about yourself and your relationships, and your deepest fears, concerns, and beliefs. By expressing, exploring, and interrogating those patterns, thoughts, and beliefs, people are able to grow and feel more authentically themselves. If you come to therapy with a goal, such as setting boundaries, understanding the breakdowns in your relationships, or processing difficult emotions, then therapy is the process of working towards those goals with a trained professional who can help you to see things from a different perspective and forge a new way of being in a gentle, caring, and non-judgmental manner. If any of this speaks to you and what you're looking for in a therapist, then I may be a good fit for you.
