I am dedicated to creating a supportive, collaborative space for adults navigating life’s challenges. I take a person-centered approach, meaning our work is guided by your experiences, needs, and goals. Therapy with me is grounded in empathy, respect, and the belief that meaningful healing happens when you feel truly seen & heard.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to work with you.

there are a number of credentials i could share about myself and ways you might decide if i'm the right therapist for you, but honestly, between you and me, what matters is that i love this work and i believe in this work. i feel deeply humbled to hold people's stories and hearts for a living. the trust that this work requires is no small thing, and i never take that lightly. in my clinical practice, i use theories rooted in an anti-racist, queer liberation, harm reduction, and body-neutral framework. i feel most drawn to this work through an attachment-focused analytical frame. we have all been harmed in relationships, and i believe our healing must also exist in relationships. i know we cannot look at one's personal frame without understanding the systemic and cultural impact that intersectionality has had on one's own experience. i have committed to my clinical work always evolving, and we will both teach each other what comes next. i can't promise a safe place, but i can promise an accountable one. i will create the container, i will show up for rupture, and together we will build a foundation of trust to help you heal, grow, challenge, and shift the things that brought you here. i received my master's in clinical social work from silberman school of social work at hunter college in new york city. after graduation, i worked in community mental health, supporting young mothers on their journey towards recovery from opioid-based addictions. i then joined a group practice where i've worked for many years, supporting folks to heal complicated relationships with food, their bodies, their boundaries, their gender, and their sexuality. i believe i am a partner in this work with you, and as people change, heal, and move forward in their lives, i feel profoundly impacted to bear witness and be a part of your story. it is miraculous. finding the right therapist is a process: trust yourself, explore, ask hard questions. we work for you and with you. i am a white, queer, abolitionist, non-binary, dyslexic, jewish, body-liberatory therapist, and most importantly, a client. the only thing i ask of the folks i work with is a commitment to show up, and the rest we will figure out together.
Sometimes we struggle with our mental health when we're children, adolescents, or even up to our adulthood. By taking the next step in your mental health journey we can work as a team to break generational curses, help you build your confidence, express your emotions, build healthy boundaries, healthier ways to cope, communicate skills, and problem solve to create the best version of you. If you are someone whom is having difficulty with life transitions, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, and self esteem concerns I will work with you to build effective tools for managing those day to day life stressors. While also helping you heal from past experiences in order to create a more fulfilling life you can be empowered by. Beginning your therapy journey isn't the easiest but I am glad you chose this opportunity to change not only the trajectory of your mental health but family members, friends, and relatives as well. I am excited to see you take the next step, welcome to the team!
Ecdysis (pronounced Ek-Duh-Sus), by definition, is the process that snakes and reptiles undergo when shedding their skin, and it is a metaphor for how I view the therapeutic process. I started Ecdysis Psychology with the goal of helping people navigate difficult or uncomfortable changes in order to discover the best versions of themselves. In my 15+ years of experience treating adults and adolescents in inpatient and outpatient settings, I have encountered individuals experiencing symptoms of depression, mania, anxiety, psychosis, and personality disorders as well as those struggling with addiction and sexual concerns, and I learned that what matters most in treatment is motivation. Anyone with a willingness to change can do so, regardless of the traumas or negative experiences of your past. Therapy is a tool to help guide you through difficult life situations, and my practice focuses on helping clients cope with stressful circumstances, such as grief, traumatic events, relationship difficulties, divorce, family conflict, fertility struggles, depression, low self-esteem, problems with assertive communication, or anxiety. Each person's treatment course is custom to their needs and is based upon the theoretical underpinnings of cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and mindfulness. I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your personal growth journey.
I believe that what brings many people to therapy is a sense of disconnection (from themselves, others, or the world around them). Alongside disconnection, clients may experience depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, job/career concerns, loneliness, anger, body pains, among other symptoms. I’m passionate about working with clients to help them identify, understand, and reconnect with the parts of themselves and their experiences that they disconnected from throughout the years. It is through this work that clients are able to show up more authentically and experience greater meaning and fulfillment in their lives. I work primarily from relational and attachment based frameworks while incorporating complementary modalities, prioritizing client needs/goals. My specialty is working with individuals with relationship concerns, identity exploration, and life transitions. Additionally, I have expertise working with college/graduate students and emerging adults. I wholeheartedly believe that much of the healing and growth process occurs within the context of relationships (whether that be in the relationships with others or with yourself). Therefore, I emphasize the importance of finding a good fit with a therapist and encourage reaching out if you feel we may be a good fit. I look forward to connecting!
Sometimes we all need a little help. No one has life all figured out. We are all a work in progress. That is especially true of young adults transitioning from high school into college, or from college into the working world. Relationships with parents are changing, romantic relationships may begin or end, friendships change, and we may grow apart from people who we thought we'd be friends with forever. These are challenging times to be alive, and sometimes it's helpful to talk about what you're going through with an objective third party, a therapist, someone to validate your feelings and give honest feedback in a kind, gentle manner. I help my patients learn healthy coping skills and try different strategies to deal with whatever mental health challenges they are facing. With 18 years experience, I'm sure I can find some strategies that will help you too. Please feel free to reach out when you are ready!
From the outside things may seem fine, even when on the inside we feel frustrated, dissatisfied, or lost. It can be hard to put this experience into words which makes it difficult to know how to start feeling better. My approach to therapy is focused on helping you better understand yourself and your struggles so you can take steps towards a life that is nourishing and meaningful for you. I strive to create a warm and supportive environment so we can work together to challenge what you’ve been told about how you’re “supposed” to be and identify the patterns that get in the way of your living the life you want to live. I am a licensed psychologist with expertise in both mental health and sport psychology. At my practice I provide psychotherapy for adults as well as sport psychology services for athletes and teams who want to develop the mental aspects of their performance. Whether I am working with people seeking growth through therapy or with athletes looking for more out of their sport, my favorite part of my job is seeing the transformation that takes place as people start to connect with themselves and trust their best qualities. If you think you would be interested in working with me, please get in touch!
