““Being unalone in your pain is more regulating than any breathwork you would ever learn.

Welcome.
Try softer, now.
If "trying harder" worked, you’d be there by now. I’m a non-traditional therapist, supervisor, and trainer who believes therapy shouldn’t be an enigma. High knowledge doesn’t always result in the pattern changes we want, real change requires strategy, repetition, and a willingness to do things differently. And then we have to just do that over and over again and accept ourselves with compassion until something actually works!
My approach is modern, embodied, and relational. Before private practice, I spent years in NYC nonprofits working with individuals and families. My lived experience as a lifelong researcher of the human experience has taught me that healing happens through connection, in the moments we feel seen and understood. I blend cognitive and somatic approaches to help individuals and couples move past "knowing better" to actually doing better. You are the expert on you, I’m here to help you reconnect to yourself and each other. I am really glad you are here.
What to expect in Therapy With Me:
Direct, no-BS communication. We'll get straight to the heart of the matter because your time is valuable and you're here to change your life, we take that seriously and we laugh a lot.
A firm belief that therapy shouldn't last forever, or be an academic exercise. You can expect practical, evidence-based skills that you can actually use in your messy, real life.
A focus on action, not just insight. Understanding why you do something is great, but the real work of change is in practicing new ways of showing up and experiencing ourselves differently. Insight on its own doesn’t change behavior, it actually often makes our patterns harder to bear.
Humor. We will laugh. Even when things are heavy, finding moments of lightness is part of the process and how we signal safety to our nervous systems.
A collaborative, "we're in this together" vibe. I'm an expert in treatment, but you are the expert on your life. We'll combine our expertise to figure out what works for you.
Gentle, but honest, call-ins on patterns, truth and accountability. I will compassionately point out when you're getting in your own way. We'll look at the "why" without judgment and find a new way forward. Telling the truth to ourselves about ourselves is one of the bravest and hardest things we can do. We call them blindspots because, we can’t see them.
The occasional, "This reminds me of a meme..." Because sometimes, a meme perfectly captures the ridiculousness of the human experience, and it's validating to know you're not the only one who feels that way.
A "come as you are" environment. There is no need to have it all figured out before you get here. Bring the mess, the uncertainty, the exhaustion—it's all welcome.
Permission to be imperfect. This is a space where you don't have to pretend. You can be human, make mistakes, and learn without shame. Progress over perfection, always.
I won’t promise to "fix" you (because you're not broken), but I can promise to show up, be fully present, and walk alongside you with skill and compassion as you do the hard work of healing.
