I earned my master’s degree in 2017 at New York University’s Silver School of Social Work and did my undergraduate studies at Williams College.

Prior to my career as a psychotherapist, I spent many years working as a music producer and small business owner, catering to the U.S. advertising industry. I am a proficient jazz musician and certified yoga instructor.

In my teenage years I began to explore Buddhism, yoga, and meditation, and commenced a lifelong journey of self-inquiry that ultimately led me to pursue a career as a psychotherapist.  I have made an extensive study of trauma and offer a multi-modal approach that includes somatic work, mindfulness, and talk therapy. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing; these are interventions that help the mind create transformative associations that help mitigate and alleviate the traumatic experience. I have also been certified in contemplative psychotherapy, and use meditation, compassion, acceptance, and other principals of mindfulness as cornerstones of my practice. Additionally, I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I am currently available for tele-health online sessions and am now accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance.
