The best work happens when we move away from clinical bureaucracy and toward a genuine human connection. I provide a grounded, non-judgmental space where you don’t have to "perform."
I work best with clients who value depth, authenticity, and a collaborative journey of self-discovery. As a solo practitioner, you work directly with me. My approach is warm and direct; we aren’t just talking, we are building a toolkit for your real life.
My path to the therapy room wasn’t linear. With a background in Women and Gender Studies, and years spent living in East Asia, I bring a "Renaissance" perspective to our work. I am a runner, a traveler, a Queer man, and a dog lover.
I am down-to-earth but well-informed, offering a steady, compassionate, and protective presence. I act as a reliable guide for those navigating the complexities of New York life, helping you find clarity and grounding amidst the noise.
If you have never been to therapy before, I enjoy the "teacher" side of counseling. I demystify the process by sharing the how and why behind different tools so you feel empowered, not just analyzed.
I integrate a wide range of evidence-based modalities tailored to your unique needs, including ACT, CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, and Somatic Therapy. We focus on:
Building self-esteem, assertiveness, and the ability to self-advocate.
Managing expectations, setting healthy boundaries, and finding a sense of purpose.
We "break the box" of traditional talk therapy through Bibliotherapy, music, or using mindfulness and self-massage for Somatic Experiencing.
From those finding their footing in their 20s to those navigating the transitions of mid-life and beyond.
Utilizing EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) to bridge gaps and build resilient communication skills.
Including LGBTQ+ folks, immigrants, and POC
