Do you find yourself struggling to know who you are or what you want out of life? Maybe you are going through a big life transition that has left you feeling frazzled. Becoming an independent adult is difficult. With a specialization in working with college-students and young adults (20 & 30-somethings), I can help you gain more self-awareness and manage the stress that becoming an adult can cause. I focus on using relational psychodynamic psychotherapy to help you gain more self-awareness into who you are and how your relationships have impacted you so that you can become the person you want to be. I also incorporate elements of Cognitive behavioral therapy, problem-solving, and mindfulness. As a millennial I know how difficult it can be to start your life as an adult. There are so many unknowns and it can be difficult to know what path to take. It’s easy to feel stuck. But together we can work on whatever is holding you back so that you can move forward towards the life you want.

When overwhelmed by the world and those around you, you may experience feeling dissatisfied or drained with your relationships, occupation, and other aspects of your life.

From social media to global crises, there are a great deal of forces influencing how we see ourselves. It is normal amidst all of this change to feel anxious, depressed, hopeless, and overwhelmed.

I will work with you to compassionately tend to the parts of you that feel like they are suffering in order to help you create a path forward.  My passion is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and the world around them. To take care of our minds is to take care of our physical and spiritual health.  I have a special interest in serious illness, life transitions, palliative care, caregivers, women’s health, infertility, grief, and how nature and the outdoors can promote mental well-being. I love hiking, running, kayaking, and being with animals. Attention to the outdoors, physical movement, and the mind-body connection informs my clinical work with clients when appropriate. I graduated from The Silver School of Social Work at New York University as a Zelda Foster Palliative and End of Life Care fellow. I previously worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I helped patients, caregivers, and healthcare staff navigate the complexities of serious illness and palliative care.
