Education & Training:

  • Master’s in Clinical Social Work – New York University
  • Former training and experience as a counselor at McLean Hospital, specializing in DBT

Specialties:

I specialize in working with those seeking to understand themselves more deeply as they navigate relationship challenges, lingering emotional wounds and unresolved past experiences, and self-doubt. I am particularly attuned to the experiences of creatives, artists, and deep thinkers who are processing relational trauma, struggling with self-trust, or noticing patterns in their relationships that feel difficult to untangle. I also have experience working with individuals managing emotional dysregulation, OCD, social anxiety, and histories of trauma.

Clinical Style & Theoretical Orientation:

I take a warm, conversational, and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a space where clients feel supported in exploring their emotions and experiences. I integrate DBT and psychodynamic therapy, helping clients gain insight into relational and emotional patterns while also building tangible skills for emotional regulation. I believe therapy is a creative process—one of curiosity, discovery, and transformation—where clients can safely examine the narratives they carry and develop a stronger sense of self-trust. My sessions are tailored to each client, blending structure with flexibility and incorporating humor, curiosity, and deep reflection. This style, I find, helps foster the relational safety and trust necessary to address deep wounds and create change.
