About

I became a therapist because I kept noticing the same pattern: smart, thoughtful people stuck in cycles they couldn't seem to break. Parents who knew all the "right" parenting strategies but still felt like they were failing. Couples who loved each other but couldn't stop hurting each other. People who wanted to change but didn't know how.

I've spent the last decade working with families, and what I've learned is this: most of the time, people don't need more advice. They need someone who can help them see what's happening underneath the surface, who can sit with them in the hard stuff, and who can help them build a different way forward.

How I Work

My approach is grounded in attachment theory, developmental psychology, and a healthy dose of pragmatism. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not prescriptive. You're the expert on your own life. I'm here to help you see patterns, make sense of your experiences, and figure out what actually works for you and your family.

I work primarily with parents navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, and the overwhelming task of raising kids in a world that doesn't make it easy. I also work with couples who want to strengthen their relationship before it breaks, or repair it after it already has.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. What I offer instead is a space to slow down, get honest about what's working and what isn't, and build tools that actually fit your life.

What Therapy Looks Like

In our work together, we'll spend time understanding the stories you tell yourself about who you are, where you came from, and what you're capable of. We'll look at the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, your parenting, and your internal narrative. And we'll work on building new skills, new ways of responding, and new possibilities for how things could be different.

I'm direct, warm, and not interested in wasting your time. I'll ask hard questions. I'll challenge you when I think it's useful. And I'll also remind you, probably more often than you'd like, that you're doing better than you think you are.

Background & Training

I hold a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I've trained in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care. I've worked in community mental health, private practice, and school-based settings.

But more important than any of that is this: I believe deeply in the capacity of people to change, to repair, and to build lives that feel more aligned with who they actually are. That's the work I'm here to do.

Outside of Therapy

I live in Brooklyn with my family. I'm a parent myself, which means I know firsthand how hard it is to practice what you preach when your kid is melting down in the cereal aisle. I read too many parenting books, drink too much coffee, and spend too much time thinking about how we raise emotionally resilient humans in a world that often feels like it's falling apart.

I also write, because sometimes putting words to this work helps me make sense of it. You can find my essays in the Writing section of this site.
