Therapist Overview
We are all faced with choices each day, and at times we can feel stuck repeating the same patterns, unsure as to why we feel anxious, depressed, or unsatisfied. Therapy can help us uncover some of the agency and authority we do have – allowing us to understand how our past experiences might be alive in the present, and how we might make different choices for our present and future. It is a process that asks you to challenge yourself and make a commitment to your well-being, and I believe that a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps you feel safe to truly examine yourself can foster immense growth. My approach is collaborative and integrative, rooted in psychodynamic theory and drawing on CBT & DBT perspectives. I am committed to creating a nonjudgmental, culturally-sensitive, empathic environment, as well as using levity, to help you cope and make meaning, gain insight into underlying patterns, find solutions, and access your strengths and potential. I have experience in various treatment and assessment-based outpatient and inpatient settings in NYC and London (UK). I am also certified in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD through UPenn’s CTSA, and remain active in clinical research. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about my background and how we might work together to help you achieve your goals.
