The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

-Anais Nin

Hello and welcome. I am a psychotherapist, licensed creative arts therapist, and a registered drama therapist (LCAT, RDT) based in New York. 

I believe that creativity is essential to the journey towards self-discovery and transformation. Through the lens of story, role, and metaphor, I explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, while highlighting the parts of self that are adaptive. I work from a strength-based, holistic approach which integrates creative arts therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral tools/ strategies. I strive to meet every individual with curiosity, creativity, and warmth. Fostering a therapeutic relationship is integral to the psychotherapy process.
