About Me
I practice from an insight-oriented, collaborative, and individualized approach to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. I strive to provide a supportive and accepting space for my patients to feel heard and understood while also feeling challenged to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling and relating. My hope is that therapy can be useful in providing tools to relieve immediate stress while also helping uncover the underlying meanings of unwanted or distressing symptoms, feelings and relational patterns in order to create lasting change.
I specialize in working with relationship and family of origin concerns; emotional, physical and sexual trauma; grief and loss; college/graduate student mental health, women's health and wellness, prenatal and postpartum adjustment and concerns and life transitions such as starting a new career, becoming a parent or navigating divorce.
I also work with couples and focus on repairing ruptures in trust, increasing effective communication and fostering connection. I believe strongly in the power of group therapy and am currently pursuing training in modern psychoanalytic group psychotherapy at the Center for Group Studies in NY.
