talking cure.
In my practice, I work with adults and adolescents who are hungry to know who they truly are and often struggle to express their innermost needs and values. I treat individuals who suffer from persistent anxiety, feelings of unlovability and shame, and those frightened of conflict and lacking the language to repair. My patients tend to find themselves in cycles of self-sabotage and unfulfilling intimate relationships, and are seeking reciprocity and deep understanding. Artists, academics, and ambitious professionals often find their way to my practice. Additionally, I work with couples seeking to strengthen their emotional communication and understanding of recurring conflicts.
Lastly, I offer clinical supervision to clinicians accruing hours for licensure and beyond.
Approach
In session, saying everything is the goal—and we work toward finding the language to express thoughts and feelings formerly unknown to access more agency in your life.
My approach is warm, direct, and creative as we work through both past and present conflicts to achieve lasting change.
About
Prior to receiving my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University, I earned a bachelor’s degree from Brown University in Modern Culture and Media studies. I completed my fellowship in psychoanalysis at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York, and I am currently a candidate at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. Presently, I am serving as the Associate Director of the Institute for Human Identity, an LGBTQ+ affirmative mental health center. In addition to my clinical work, I have worked as an arts and fashion writer, a director at a start-up, and as a certified yoga teacher.
Where do we begin?
We’ll schedule a consultation call to assess for the right fit. Should we decide to work together, we’ll discuss treatment frequency, scheduling, and payment. In-person sessions are preferred, however, I do offer remote sessions via telehealth or phone calls as needed. While I do work on a sliding scale and accept select insurances, the majority of my practice utilizes out-of-network benefits.
