More About Me
People tend to work well with me if they value careful thinking, close attention, and a process that is not rushed.
When something feels confusing or hard to articulate, I help make sense of it in a way that feels usable rather than theoretical. I often notice things that are difficult to see when you are inside the situation, and we work with those moments directly.
This work is often helpful when:
reactions feel bigger than the situation
decisions feel harder than they should
the same patterns keep repeating
insight has not yet led to change
Most of the people who work with me are already functioning well in their lives, but something underneath is not working the way it should.
People work with me to trust their judgment more, respond more deliberately, and make choices that reflect who they are rather than who they feel pressured to be.
How I Work
This work is primarily insight oriented. We look closely at how you function, how you respond under pressure, how you handle closeness, how you make decisions, and where you turn against yourself.
Understanding something intellectually is often not enough. You might know a reaction is disproportionate and still feel it take over. We pay attention to where those reactions begin so change is not only something you understand, but something you experience differently.
In session, I am engaged and thinking with you. I notice shifts in tone, contradictions, what gets minimized, and what gets avoided. When something important happens, we slow it down and work with it directly.
You will be supported. You will also be challenged thoughtfully. I am steady in the room. I do not rush. I do not overreact. I do not let things drift. If something is difficult, we stay with it without making it dramatic or overwhelming.
The work is focused and active. It is not endless processing. The goal is meaningful change in how you relate to yourself and others. The work is serious, but the conversations are natural and human.
Clinical Background
My training is rooted in relational and depth-oriented psychotherapy alongside approaches that support meaningful behavioral change. I completed my clinical training at NYU and pursued additional postgraduate training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and trauma-informed work. This combination allows the work to be both thoughtful and practical, focusing not only on insight but on changes that show up in how you think, relate, and move through your life.
