MY PRACTICE
As a holistically-oriented mind-body psychotherapist, I provide a warm and affirming therapy experience dedicated to your healing and happiness. We will work together to help you get unstuck by addressing internal & external obstacles. This is your time to go beyond survival to thriving with a life that you love. I work with adults on issues such as procrastination, anxiety, sadness, depression, life transitions, boundary-setting, OCD, trauma, PTSD, abuse, feeling stuck - as well as managing ongoing stress stemming from work, housing, relationships, & family.
We will partner on your self-actualization journey by integrating contemporary therapeutic modalities with spiritually attuned and body-centered philosophies, including CBT; Mindfulness; HAES; Motivational Interviewing; Career Coaching; Organizational Coaching for ADHD; Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy; Internal Family Systems; DBT.
I hold a Master's of Science degree from Columbia University School of Social Work, and a B.A. in Sociology with a focus on intersectional feminism and sexuality studies from McGill University. I am affirming and knowledgeable of LGBTQIA2S+, kink/BDSM, polyamory & ethical non-monogamy, immigrant experience, and alternative & nature-based spiritual traditions.
