More About Me
People work with me because I pay close attention, think carefully, and don’t waste time in session. I listen closely, notice inconsistencies, and name what matters without rushing to reassure or smooth things over.
When something feels confusing or hard to articulate, I help make sense of it in a way that feels usable rather than theoretical.
I’m especially helpful when effort hasn’t led to clarity. When reactions feel bigger than the situation, decisions feel harder than they should, or the same situations keep repeating, we look closely at what’s actually driving them and why.
I pay close attention to how you describe your experiences and notice patterns as they emerge. We work with what’s happening now, while also paying attention to the habits, assumptions, and reactions that quietly shape how you think, relate, and respond over time.
People work with me to learn to trust their judgment, respond more deliberately, and make choices that reflect who they are rather than who they feel pressured to be.
Background & Training
I completed postgraduate training at the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in the Child, Adolescent, and Parent Psychotherapy (CAPP) program. I hold a master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University. My clinical background includes work in inpatient and community mental health settings, along with advanced training in trauma treatment, DNMS, EMDR, and relational psychotherapy.
My postgraduate training shapes how I listen, think, and intervene. It informs a way of working that pays close attention to emotional development, relational patterns, and family systems, so we can understand what is actually happening rather than relying on techniques alone.
Working Together
This work tends to be a good fit for people who value clear thinking, honest reflection, and making thoughtful decisions about their lives.
