About My Clients
I help children, teens, adults and families work through issues related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, coping with chronic illness, domestic violence, trauma, divorce and relationship transitions, addiction, parenting support, bullying and school related stress, opposition and anger. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I will be accepting, flexible and non-judgmental, whether you're exploring questions around gender identity and/or sexual orientation, or just need someone who gets it.
My Background and Approach
Finding a therapist who you connect to is important in achieving your goals. With over 20 years experience, I bring warmth, compassion, humor, truthful communication and collaboration to the therapy process, offering a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings creatively and work toward solutions and resolutions at your own pace. My approach to therapy is relational. Therapy is a co-created and active process; I bring myself fully to sessions, encouraging my clients to do the same, in order for them to explore risks, take comfort, and find their own voice. I approach treatment from a person-centered standpoint, matching interventions and approaches to the needs and goals of each client, such as: psychodynamic, humanistic, arts-based approaches, trauma-informed practice, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a licensed Creative Arts Therapist, adjunct professor of Drama Therapy at NYU, and hold post masters certification in LGBTQ affirming psychotherapy, trauma-informed arts based treatment, and am EMDR Trained. In addition to my therapy work, I'm a published author, specializing in gender and sexuality affirmative psychotherapy across all ages.
