I have worked as a therapist for over 15 years, and I am absolutely passionate about this work. I am intentional about increasing my clients’ present moment awareness in a non-judgement way, and together we ask what can we find when we allow ourselves to feel. I value transparency and genuineness – I strive to cultivate spaces in which my clients’ can trust their judgement rather than relying on mine. I intentionally bring humor and curiosity to the work I do, together with a boundless amount of tea.

I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and I am a licensed psychologist in NY. I have worked as a clinician in multiple community, hospital, clinic, and university settings. Throughout my scientist-practitioner training, I specialized in trauma, gender-based violence, sex trafficking, and relationship and attachment counseling.

I also have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, and enjoy working with this population very much – I find the unbound curiosity in which children approach the world and the brave resistance of teens thrilling to work with. I also enjoy working with adults, particularly regarding trauma, life transitions (including parenthood, changing or re-thinking careers, gender identity, relationships), and overall psychological distress. In essence, I enjoy supporting others when they feel lost within themselves, navigating endings and beginnings, and learning new ways of engaging with their words that is less constricted by self-doubt and self-criticism.
