About Me
My goal is to create a safe and collaborative space that facilitates self-exploration and personal growth for my clients. Through a strengths-based, culturally sensitive, and client-centered approach to therapy, I help clients construct and navigate a path toward healing and wellbeing that honors their individual needs and objectives. I also work with couples to help them find greater connection with each other and develop stronger communication and conflict resolution skills.
While my practice is grounded in relational psychodynamic therapy, I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches including AEDP, Internal Family Systems, Emotional Freedom Technique, EMDR (Levels 1 & 2), and Emotionally Focused Therapy. My certification as a trauma-informed yoga provider allows me to incorporate somatic healing practices when appropriate.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and completed a comprehensive two-year post-graduate training in Trauma Studies at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. My clinical training includes an internship at Mt. Sinai-St. Luke’s Crime Victims Treatment Center (CVTC), where I worked with survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and human trafficking. I also served as Program Manager at Womankind, helping to launch their elder abuse program, and completed a two-year clinical fellowship at Erika Malm Therapy, where I received specialized training in attachment-based psychotherapy.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an organizational consultant with Fortune 500 companies, helping them build values-based cultures. I hold a Doctorate in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and a Bachelor's with Honors in Human Development from Cornell University, with additional study as a visiting scholar at Oxford University.
