What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I myself was in therapy for many years, which helped me overcome difficulties I had due to my early life experiences. I was so fascinated by the process I underwent and so convinced of the healing potential of thereapy, that I wanted to be able to faciliatate a similar experience for others.
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
My goal as a therapist is to support you in exploring your world and your life, so you can live in a way that is more satisfying and more aligned with your deepest desires. Therapy is a collaborative process. I will be your "travel companion" on your road to greater self-fulfillment.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I am open, curious and enjoy a variety of activities and people. Likewise in therapy, I am open and curious to get to know you, and welcome you to be yourself fully without having to conform to any preset expectations.

Work History
I help people with various personal and interpersonal issues, such as living authentically in spite of societal and familial pressures, communication in relationships, finding satisfaction in life, self-expression and creativity, navigating life changes and more. I am a strong believer in the mind-body connection, and have a holistic approach to therapy and life. I believe that saying things out loud moves energy inside of you and helps you move along in your evolution as a human being. In addition to being a psychoanalayst, I am also a professional jazz saxophonist, and love to play and perform.
