I am a psychodynamic and relational therapist, and I believe that each person needs to find a therapist they feel genuinely comfortable talking to. I also believe that people grow and change through the relationship, so it’s important to work with someone who will challenge you when it’s necessary and appropriate. I have a genuine interest in a person’s past to understand how emotions and behaviors are functioning in the present. I use empathy and compassion to build a safe, trusting space where people can explore who they are and who they would like to become. 

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress, to name a few. Before I became a therapist, I worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Google, Inc., which gives me a unique ability to understand and address the different stresses that people can encounter throughout life. I’ve spent time as an amateur stand-up comic, and I think that humor can make therapy more enjoyable and worthwhile. I’ve also spent many years in my own therapy, so I really understand what it’s like to work on yourself with a therapist.
