About My Clients
Many of my clients arrive carrying something hard to name — a stuck relationship, an unmoved-through loss, a life that no longer fits. I work with adults and couples on relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, and grief, with particular experience in complex trauma, attachment wounds, high-stress jobs and burnout, and existential questions about purpose and meaning — people asking not just how to feel better, but who they are and where they're headed.
My Background and Approach
My practice is integrative — grounded in psychodynamic and relational theory, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, attachment-based, and humanistic approaches. I believe our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves and the world, and that therapy offers a chance to understand and revise those patterns. The therapeutic relationship is central to the work — a place where old patterns can be explored and self-compassion cultivated. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University, completed my predoctoral internship at Yale School of Medicine / Connecticut Mental Health Center, and did my postdoctoral fellowship at Psychology Specialists of Maine. I'm licensed in Maine and New York and credentialed through PsyPACT, so I also see clients virtually across PsyPACT states. I invite reflection, curiosity, and honesty into the room — the best therapy is co-created and tailored to who's in front of me.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work. Identity — race, gender, age, religion, sexuality, class, ability — profoundly shapes our inner lives and our relationships, and I try to engage with that complexity with openness and humility, honoring both the pain and the resilience that come from navigating systems of inequality. I also believe certainty is rarely guaranteed, and that we still have to choose a direction anyway — to live with doubt, embrace complexity, and stay connected to ourselves and each other along the way. That's as true for me as it is for the people I work with. Outside of session, you'll usually find me outdoors somewhere in Maine, around a campfire, or at the kitchen table with the people I love. Maine's natural beauty across the seasons has a way of putting things in perspective, and I try to bring that same grounded presence into the therapy room.
