I approach therapy with curiosity, connection, insight, acceptance, compassion, and a splash of humor. I aim to create an environment where you can feel safe to explore, discover and embrace your truest and best self. I believe an essential task of therapy is to foster reflection in order to develop self-awareness, leading to a greater ability to adaptively and effectively navigate life.
I primarily practice therapy through a relational and attachment-based psychodynamic lens. I believe that the relationship patterns and dynamics you have with yourself and with others are the primary factors in both emotional well-being and emotional distress. In my approach to therapy, the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance.
In addition to this relational way of practicing, I sprinkle in behavioral and somatic interventions (including Attachment-Focused EMDR) throughout sessions to bolster your daily toolkit in order to reduce the severity of your symptoms, augment your sense of self-efficacy and enhance your ability to experience your feelings.
Outside of the therapy room, you can find me at a pilates class, watching a true crime docuseries, planning a trip, or playing with my shih tzu/border terrier, Shirley. I am involved with the Central Park Conservancy, the Stonewall Community Foundation and Best Friends Pet Adoption Center.
