About My Clients
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, struggling with constant self-criticism, finding it challenging to communicate and fully connect in your relationships? Together we can work to bring awareness to the patterns that may keep you feeling stuck, to shift old ways of thinking that may no longer be serving you, and to develop actionable ways for you to overcome any barriers to living the life you envision.
My Background and Approach
I received my M.S.W. from Hunter University in New York, where I also completed a year-long post-graduate training through the Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at the William Alanson White Institute. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (Level 1), Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (gold standard treatment for OCD), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These therapeutic approaches focus on examining and shifting your relationship to unhelpful thinking patterns, getting to know all parts of you and healing the burdens they may carry, clarifying values and leading a values-driven life, and developing insight into the ways in which past experiences and relationships impact the present. I view all emotions as information about ourselves, and I work with clients to help them better understand and accept their emotions and use them to live fully and authentically.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I utilize an intersectional lens, understanding the ways in which gender, race, sexuality, and class impact our lived experiences. I have experience working in community mental health centers, with survivors of interpersonal violence, and with the LGBTQ community. I strive to create a supportive, affirming environment where you can be free to be your authentic self.
