My Background and Approach

I have a Master's degree in Social Work from Columbia University as well as a Master's in Counseling Psychology. I completed an in-depth teacher training in Mindful Self Compassion with UC San Diego's Center for Mindfulness and participate in ongoing trainings in clinical application of mindfulness practices with UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center. I am an avid reader and lifelong learner and am committed to deepening and sharpening my skills and therapeutic presence on an ongoing basis. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, Buddhist psychology, internal family systems, psychodynamic and modern attachment theory, among others. Our relationship will provide a foundation for growth outside of our sessions, creating an experiential roadmap for safe, authentic connection. I have been in private practice since 2020.

My Approach to Helping

Together, we will cultivate kindness and curiosity for your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Self-exploration and honest feedback with an attuned listener can strengthen our capacity to be in fulfilling, authentic relationship with ourself and others. As you are ready, we can explore new narratives & develop practices that alleviate anxiety and depression, creating more space for acceptance, ease, and joy. I enjoy finding humor with my clients, and my style often moves between in depth explorations of the psyche to discussing practical strategies for nervous system regulation and management of distressing symptoms. Above all, I hope to bring gentle curiosity and compassion to the truly complex journey of being human.
