About Me
I’m a psychotherapist and couples counselor passionate about helping individuals and couples heal, grow, and create deeper, more fulfilling relationships. My work is grounded in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), an approach that helps people connect more authentically, build trust, and overcome relational challenges.
I graduated from New York University (NYU) and began my career working in the Special Victims Unit at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. There, I gained specialized trauma training, which deepened my understanding of how past wounds can affect our relationships and emotional well-being. This early experience shaped my therapeutic approach, driving my commitment to help clients work through their pain and find healing.
I’ve been in private practice since 2014, and I’ve also had the honor of teaching at NYU. Over the years, I’ve continued my professional development at the Relational Life Institute, refining my expertise in couples therapy and relational living. My approach is holistic, incorporating both somatic work and traditional therapy to support healing on every level—mind, body, and spirit.
At the core of my work is a deep belief in the power of love, intimacy, and connection. I’ve seen how these elements can not only heal relationships but also restore confidence and a sense of worth. Whether you’re working through trauma, looking to strengthen your relationship, or seeking a deeper connection with yourself and others, I’m here to help guide you on that journey.
I have come to know intimately that there is no ease or healing before rebuilding a relationship to the body and the sensations that live within us.
I also pursued my Master’s in women’s spirituality learning about the spirituality through the lens of the feminine. I have pursued somatic and non-religious spiritual practice throughout my life, primarily focusing on the Devine Mother through ritual, art, meditation, and movement. These practices greatly influences the work I do and for clients who are interested in spiritual work, I am here for that.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my 11 year-old, snow, walking in the woods, exploring the city, cuddling with my dog, and taking road trips. I am currently writing a book about my own healing journey and the therapist and therapeutic interventions that saved my life and guided me to live an empowered and relational life.
