About My Clients
Have you been taught that being strong means showing no emotions? Do you feel tense, overwhelmed, or stuck in loops of overthinking? Do your partner or friends say they wish they could get closer to you? It can be so lonely when you always have to be the successful, responsible protector. I can provide the space you need to relax and reconnect with yourself. My gentle, calming presence will help you feel understood and truly accepted, even if expressing yourself hasn't been easy before.
My Background and Approach
Our sessions will help you understand yourself better, learn new ways to communicate, and make lasting changes to your relationships. As a Columbia University trained psychologist and the co-author of Secrets and Lies in Psychotherapy, I specialize in helping you learn how being honest and vulnerable can be a strength. When you can experience and share your feelings more freely, your anxiety and stress will lessen. You'll feel more like "yourself" and closer to the people who matter most. My training gives me expertise in creating a safe, comfortable place where you can share anything about yourself that has felt difficult to talk about or has been judged. By shining a compassionate light on these experiences, you will feel less alone. This can translate into a greater sense of self-acceptance and more confidence being your fullest self.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that you deserve a space where they can feel truly accepted. In our sessions, you will be given room to get in touch with all parts of yourself, especially the ones that may have felt shamed, minimized, or "too much." It's my privilege to give you a different experience than ones you've had in the past, and my hope is that our sessions become a model for how to feel more connected out in the world. My clients frequently tell me that our work has been transformational for how they see themselves and how they can show up in relationships more authentically. If you want to learn more about how I can help, please send me a message and I will get back to you quickly with info about next steps of the process.
