About My Clients

We'd be a great fit if: You are wanting to explore who you are on a deeper level or wanting to grow/evolve/adapt in healthy ways, You are eager to heal from past traumas and better understand the dynamics/roles you find yourself in today or, You think it would be helpful to have a dedicated safe space to process the intense level of baseline stress from being a human in 2025

My Background and Approach

My clients describe me as warm, genuine, curious, and patient. Humans are complex and unique - my process as a clinician mirrors that. I believe that lasting work starts with a non-judgmental foundation and strong therapeutic relationship. Depending on what your treatment calls for, I use a holistic, trauma informed, person centered approach with aspects of IFS, CBT, DBT, lots of support/empathy/holding space, gentle confrontation/observations, and humor. I am certified in practicing EMDR through EMDRIA. We can incorporate things that feel right and helpful to you as well as work dynamically to push through discomfort and try new things.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I specialize in working with adults and older adults (in NY & NJ) with difficulties managing stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, spirituality, existentialism, grief, and aging. You show up fully as yourself, I'll show up fully as myself, and we'll work collaboratively to build the life you want and deserve to be living. Humans face a remarkable range of experiences - I'm here to assure you that you do not need to do it all on your own. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy is valid and I am looking forward to sitting with you.
