About My Clients

I have experience in medical settings working with individuals living with cancer and their family and friends. I have sat with patients as they’ve navigated fear, worry, grief, sorrow and triumph. I believe that my presence is one of my most powerful tools and I strive to create an environment where individuals feel seen and heard.

My Background and Approach

I utilize talk therapy, concentration on somatic experience and mindfulness techniques to address feelings of distress and emotional and physical discomfort. I have completed two years of training in Gestalt therapy with the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in NYC. Gestalt therapy is holistic and person-centered. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide on the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy is about helping people learn to be curious about the more challenging parts of themselves rather than judgmental, providing greater self-awareness and acceptance. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help individuals connect with the safety and love within themselves.
