For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the hidden ways people misunderstand each other—how past experiences and unspoken assumptions shape connection, communication, and conflict.

I distinctly remember, at 6 years old, noticing some of the people in my life had different interpretations of our shared experiences, which led to miscommunication and conflict. I remember being frustrated and thinking that if I could only know and understand what the other person was thinking, and why, I could bridge the gap between us. My thinking wasn’t so eloquent back then, no, … my 6 year old brain thought mental health therapists were telepathic and actually were able to read peoples’ minds therefore understanding others better. While I later learned that wasn’t the case, that curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for helping people feel more understood in their relationships.

This passion led me to pursuing a B.A. in Psychology from Boston University followed by a Master’s in Social Work from New York University. Before opening my private practice over 10 years ago, I worked in inpatient psychiatry, gaining deep experience supporting people through acute emotional pain.

Having lived most of my life in New York City, I draw on its diversity and complexity to inform my work. For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients across cultures, identities, backgrounds, sexualities, sexual identities and orientations.

In my work, I help people untangle old patterns so they can feel more connected, communicate clearly, and build relationships that actually feel good to be in.My practice is rooted in respect, curiosity, and collaboration. I find great joy walking alongside clients as they move toward healthier relationships and more fulfilling lives.
