Does starting therapy seem intimidating or you don't know where to start? Are you looking for a therapist who's like talking to a professional friend? Do you want someone warm, endlessly encouraging, interactive, and authentic? Here I am! I've worked with all types of clients but specialize in Gen Z/millenials/Xers and LGBTQIA folks who are dealing with life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, parenting, and just LIFE.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I hope you leave our sessions feeling lighter, empowered, and supported. My ultimate goal is that my clients outgrow me and integrate a rich support system, healthy coping skills, and insights learned in therapy.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I primarily use a people-centered, relational approach to therapy with interventions from CBT, mindfulness, ACT, and solution-focused therapies. I’m also passionate about self-care, the mind-body connection, and strengthening coping skills and your existing strengths.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I'm also a certified personal trainer and love discussing the mental health benefits of movement (if clients are interested). I'm affirming and supportive of all gender identities/expressions, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. As a biracial, Jewish person I understand the need to find a provider who is understanding of intersectionality. I love learning about different cultures. and religions. Meeting people different than myself is one of the greatest gifts of being a therapist.
