I am a firm believer that no matter the struggle, all people have the ability and the right to heal. It is important to get messy, to spend time talking it out, to tap into everything, over time, that is being buried within; perhaps somewhere unclaimed. Over time, the therapeutic journey can lead to a place of letting go and clearing space inside for forgiveness and empathy. When one creates space for growth, of both the past and the present, you can regain a balance and a sense of being grounded.

I have a diverse background in the arts which informs the compassionate work I do with my clients. I hold both MFA (The Actor’s Studio) and MSW (Rutgers University) degrees as well as an extensive background & training in various therapeutic modalities such as CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems & high conflict couples counseling. Most recently I was the Director of a Residential Facility in Greenwich CT before shifting into having a full time private practice. It is this varied background of experiences that informs the work I do best- looking at the things in your life, in your relationship, in your family, that are, perhaps, not allowing delight to be part of your everyday life. Addressing these things truthfully & with purpose can help us develop your strengths in letting go of negative patterns, people, and circumstances.

Our human experience is one truth in which we all share — living, observing, eating, loving — there is a through line to the everyday familiarity that individuals encounter. Along with this complexity comes the challenge of just being a healthy person…which includes our childhoods, past and current relationships, our careers, goals, and emotional stability. All of these can cause upheaval in our lives and make it hard to move about our day feeling centered & at peace.

Whatever your specific needs may be, I can help to provide a non-judgmental, safe, and empowering space in which to begin the journey towards healing. My work includes looking at an individual, couple or a family’s journey in life thus far from a psychodynamic lens- discovering how the past is informing the present. Together, we can gently mend and restore a soulfulness that all of us deeply deserve.
