I’m so glad you’re here

My Background

I draw upon a rich tapestry of experiences and learning in my work with clients. My journey into contemplative care at the New York Zen Center and my time as a chaplain at Lenox Hill Hospital deeply rooted me in the transformative power of presence amidst adversity. My graduate studies in religion at Yale University afforded me insights from ancient healing traditions, particularly the profound wisdom of the mystics who emphasized the body's innate capacity for healing and intuition.

Furthering my education in social work at NYU, I cultivated a deep respect and curiosity for clients' unique experiences. I approach therapy with a holistic perspective, acknowledging the influence of systemic power dynamics on our minds and bodies. It's crucial to explore how these systems shape individuals, and I am dedicated to supporting clients in reclaiming their authentic selves in the face of societal pressures.

By integrating these diverse perspectives, I strive to create a compassionate and inclusive space for exploration and healing, honoring each client's journey with respect, empathy, and authenticity.
