I understand the pressure to hold it together
I know what it is like to be driven, hold yourself to high standards, intellectualize instead of feel, and keep moving when slowing down feels uncomfortable. These are patterns I have lived, not just learned about.
Those qualities can be strengths. They can help you build a life you are proud of. Therapy is not about getting rid of them. It is about loosening their grip when they no longer serve you.
You can stay capable without disconnecting from yourself.
A thoughtful,
active approach
Therapy with me is collaborative, purposeful, and emotionally attuned. I am not a blank slate, and I am not here to simply hand you answers.
I will ask questions, reflect the patterns I notice, challenge what is not working, and help you slow down when you are moving toward a solution before you have had a chance to make sense of what is happening.
Together, we work toward a deeper understanding of yourself and more flexibility in how you approach the things you cannot simply control or solve.

Experience & Training
I have worked with people facing anxiety, trauma, exclusion, serious illness, and major life transitions in settings ranging from a Title I New York City public high school to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. These experiences taught me how to stay grounded alongside people when life becomes difficult.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Columbia University, where my training emphasized a relational, client-centered approach grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and respect for each person’s experience. My clinical practice draws on evidence-based approaches and is informed by humanistic and trauma-informed perspectives.
