My practice is filled with accomplished adults who appear successful from the outside, but who internally feel exhausted, self-estranged, or overwhelmed. My approach is rooted in nearly two decades of clinical experience helping individual understand their histories, recognize recurring patterns, and move toward greater authenticity and wellbeing. I offer individual psychotherapy, therapy groups, and specialized therapy immersions designed to support meaningful growth and lasting transformation.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the complexity of inner life—what shapes us, what drives us, what contributes to suffering, and what allows us to thrive.

For nearly twenty years as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate challenges, deepen self-understanding, and create lives that feel more authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who they are. I remain continually inspired by people's capacity for growth, resilience, and change.

Many of the individuals I work with are intelligent, accomplished, and deeply reflective. From the outside, they may appear successful and capable, yet privately struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, burnout, relationship difficulties, questions of identity, or a growing sense of disconnection from themselves. Others seek therapy during periods of significant transition—becoming a parent, changing careers, navigating loss, beginning or ending relationships, or contemplating what they want from the next chapter of life.

I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in Social Work from New York University and later completed advanced training in psychoanalysis, including a fellowship in Psychoanalysis. Over the course of my career, I have worked with hundreds of individuals, couples, and families in a variety of clinical settings, developing a depth-oriented approach that integrates psychodynamic, relational, mindfulness-based, narrative, cognitive, trauma-informed, and psychoanalytic perspectives.

At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful and lasting change emerges through deeper self-understanding. Together, we explore the emotional and relational patterns that shape how you experience yourself, others, and the world around you. While insight is often an important part of the process, our work also attends to the broader dimensions of wellbeing—including relationships, creativity, self-expression, embodiment, and living in alignment with one's values.

Therapy is not simply about resolving problems. It is an opportunity to develop a more intimate relationship with yourself and, from that place, create a life that feels increasingly authentic and fulfilling.

I consider it a privilege to accompany people in this process and welcome the opportunity to explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
