talking cure.
In my practice, I work with adults and adolescents who struggle to express their innermost needs and values. I treat individuals who suffer from persistent anxiety and depression, feelings of unlovability and shame, and those frightened of conflict and lacking the language to repair. My patients tend to find themselves in cycles of self-sabotage and unfulfilling intimate relationships—while simultaneously seeking reciprocity and deep understanding. They might find it hard to take a shape.
Artists, academics, and ambitious professionals often find their way to my practice. I also work with couples seeking to strengthen their emotional communication and understanding of recurring conflicts.
I additionally offer clinical supervision to clinicians accruing hours toward licensure and beyond.
Approach
In session, saying everything is the goal. Together, we will work toward finding the words for thoughts and feelings formerly unknown, helping you access greater agency and emotional freedom in your life.
My approach is warm, direct, and creative, as we attend to both past and present experiences to create lasting change.
About
Prior to receiving my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University, I earned a bachelor’s degree from Brown University in Modern Culture and Media studies. I completed my fellowship in psychoanalysis at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York, and I am currently a candidate at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. Presently, I am serving as the Associate Director of the Institute for Human Identity, an LGBTQ+ affirmative mental health center. In addition to my clinical work, I have worked as an arts and fashion writer (Style.com) and stylist (Vogue, W, and more), a director at a start-up, and as a certified yoga teacher.
Where do we begin?
We’ll schedule a consultation call to assess for the right fit. Should we decide to work together, we’ll discuss treatment frequency, scheduling, and payment. In-person sessions are preferred, however, I do offer remote sessions via telehealth or phone calls as needed. While I do work on a sliding scale and accept select insurances, the majority of my practice utilizes out-of-network benefits.
