My approach to therapy is thoughtful and highly personalized. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and the choices that you make that get in the way of yourself interests. I take my time getting to know you deeply and am interested in learning about your temperament, upbringing, relationship history, and all the details that make you who you are today.

In terms of style, I strive to be warm, honest, attentive, and humorous when appropriate. As an avid meditation practitioner, I bring sense of stillness into my work and offer you useful skills for cultivating insight and a developing a greater awareness of yourself and the present moment. Through a combination of conversation and mindfulness-based practices, individuals begin to move more skillfully through the natural ups and downs of life. I see our relationship as one built on trust, chemistry, and warmth. The cultivation of our relationship gives you the strength to explore painful and sometimes disowned aspects of yourself and your past. As these painful feelings come to the surface and soften, more choices become available to you. This process is at the heart of growth.

I received my Bachelor of Arts at Tufts University where I majored in child development. My education also includes a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Yeshiva University and a doctorate degree from Nova Southeastern University. During my graduate degree, I received specialized training in psychodynamic therapy, art therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.
