I hold an undergraduate degree from Amherst College and a Master of Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. My clinical experience includes work with military veterans navigating trauma and psychotherapy with individuals and couples in a psychodynamic group practice. I currently work in private practice under the supervision of Sam Guzzardi, LCSW.

I have completed postgraduate training in contemporary psychoanalytic self psychology at the Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity (IPSS) and am currently pursuing advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York (PANY), affiliated with NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent nearly two decades at a global investment and technology development firm, where I developed an interest in what drives people and how we cope with stress. That curiosity, along with my own experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and service as a volunteer in hospitals, hospice, and HIV/AIDS organizations, led me to pursue a career transition to clinical practice.

Although my approach varies from person to person, I have a particular interest in working with those drawn to the transformative potential of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Alongside my psychodynamic training, I have studied a range of treatment methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and various couples therapy approaches including psychoanalytic couple therapy. Together, we will decide which approach best fits your needs and goals. I believe that meaningful progress depends on a respectful, collaborative, and connected relationship between therapist and client. Learn more about how I work.
