Hi Grow Community, I'm a Marriage & Family Therapist in NY state! I help individual clients, couples/ partners grow their strengths and challenge negative patterns that contribute to unhappiness. My areas of focus include: individual adult issues (college and/or career stress, relationships, self care, self empowerment, sexuality), couples/ partners (pre-marital, newlyweds, parenting, blended families, ethical non-monogamy, interracial/ interfaith relationships, LGBTQ+ ally, sex therapy, sex positive, kink-informed).

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is an opportunity to continue getting to know you and co-create potential short-term goals for growth you'd like to accomplish in therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Strengths I bring to our therapy space: great listener, resourceful, affirming, inquisitive, direct, warm, humorous, eclectic, intentional, creative.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are adult individuals or partners navigating life and relationship issues related to: anxiety, attachment styles, career, college, commitment, communication, conflict-resolution, dating, depression, emotional intimacy, ethical non-mongamy, family, physical intimacy, self-empowerment, trust. Eclectic in therapeutic approaches, I enjoy using evidenced based modalities (like DBT, Gottman Method) and inspiring opportunities for interested client's exploration of self expression using art therapy and somatic informed techniques.
