About Me

I use a psychodynamic approach to help individuals and couples to navigate trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I offer affirming, relational care around identity, relationships, grief, and community belonging. I support people facing a range of stressors including caregiving, illness, identity exploration and emotional overwhelm and I have significant experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves and their relationships while building insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. My role is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can face their challenges with empathy and understanding — and without being rushed toward resolution.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent twenty years as a documentary photographer and artist. That work was rooted in close collaboration and deep listening—building visual narratives about people, relationships, and lived experience. It brought me into intimate proximity with both hardship and joy, and taught me how to stay present with complexity and vulnerability. That same curiosity about people and connection is what ultimately led me into psychotherapy, where I continue to do that work in a different, more relational form.

I completed my MSW in 2022 at Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, with a Fellowship in Palliative Care. My graduate training focused on supporting patients and caregivers managing terminal and life-limiting illnesses, and I have extensive experience working with patients and families navigating hospice, end-of-life care, and the difficult decisions and emotions that surround it.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State. I see clients in person in Lower Manhattan and via telehealth throughout New York. I believe therapy should be accessible, so I keep a limited number of sliding-scale spots available. Please feel free to contact me to learn more.
