I came to my work as a therapist in a roundabout way. I started dancing when I was 3 years old. When I moved to NYC I intended to dance professionally, but soon realized that turning my passion into something that I depended on for my livelihood wasn't what I expected. I worked at New York City Ballet in their educational outreach department for several years before going back to school and becoming a therapist. As a child I often felt misunderstood, lonely, and that I was "too much" emotionally. It is an honor to serve as an emotional support for my clients on a daily basis and witness their growth. My work as a therapist is fueled by a desire to leave this world a little bit brighter and more compassionate than when I entered it.

Clients often come to me feeling broken, overwhelmed, stuck, grieving, barely holding it together, and overly hard on themselves. My goal for you is to become your most authentic self–intentional in your choices, empathetic, vibrant, and engaged with the world. For me healing is about ongoing evolution, reconnecting with yourself, finding inner peace, and feeling whole and worthy as you are. In our work together I will support you in reclaiming all parts of yourself with compassion. Sessions may involve discussion, guided movement, body exploration, meditation, breath work, writing, or art creation. Space will be created for you to process and integrate the session in whatever way feels most relevant and meaningful to you.
