Two decades of clinical expertise.
Thoughtful, relational psychotherapy grounded in evidence-based approaches and shaped by extensive training with leaders in the field.
Clinical expertise,
grounded in compassion.
For over two decades, I have worked with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship challenges, work–life balance concerns, and significant life transitions. I believe lasting change comes not from surface-level fixes, but from understanding the emotional patterns, habits, and relational dynamics that shape how we live, connect, and experience ourselves.
My clinical work blends modern neuroscience with attachment theory, relational depth, and evidence-based practice. I tailor therapy thoughtfully to each client—integrating structure with insight, and depth with compassion.
My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT). Treatment is always individualized—grounded in collaboration, emotional safety, and respect for each person's unique history and strengths.
Earlier in my career, I volunteered and trained in hospital, school, and community-based settings—supporting children, families, and individuals impacted by trauma, food insecurity, and limited access to care. I also held service and leadership roles within nonprofit and community organizations. These experiences shaped my commitment to accessible, compassionate care.
In addition to my private practice, I serve as Adjunct Faculty at Columbia University School of Social Work, where I teach advanced clinical practice, psychoeducation, and eating disorders. I also mentor emerging clinicians as they develop strong, ethical, and relationally grounded clinical skills.
I am a board-certified LCSW, licensed in New York, New Jersey, Oregon, and Florida. My advanced clinical training includes extensive work in Emotionally Focused Therapy with Susan Johnson and Les Greenberg, as well as Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy with Thomas Lynch. I am affiliated with Professional EFT NYC and EFT Portland, and I am an active member of the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (IAEDP), and the Clinical and Research in Eating Disorders Network (CREDN).
Therapy with me is collaborative, strength-based, and grounded in emotional safety. While the work can be deep and transformative, I also bring perspective, steadiness, and warmth to the process. My aim is to help you move through life with greater clarity, flexibility, and ease—in how you relate to yourself and others.
Outside the therapy room, I value balance, connection, and an active life. I enjoy group-based movement, long walks in Central Park and Forest Park, and time with friends. I maintain a bicoastal life between New York and Oregon, and bring that steadiness into my work.
I currently provide psychotherapy services via telehealth to clients located in New York, New Jersey, Oregon, and Florida.

Your Path
Applying this expertise to your life.
“I genuinely love the work I do. Therapy, at its best, is collaborative, thoughtful, and alive—grounded in deep experience, but carried with lightness, curiosity, and respect for the client's wisdom.”
The Path to Here
From the Bronx
to bicoastal practice.
I wasn't always a therapist. My first degree was a BA in Business, and I worked for the City of Portland. I spent my early childhood in the Bronx, and experiencing both East Coast and West Coast sensibilities has added depth and dimension to my practice.
After earning my Master of Social Work from Portland State University, I began practicing in 2001 at a 24/7 telehealth center and St. Vincent's Hospital. I have also taught as adjunct professor at Lewis and Clark College in their Eating Disorder Training and Certificate program.
Today, I support clients bicoastally—both online and in-person. Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, working to reconnect with yourself, or seeking a fresh perspective, I bring depth, steadiness, and compassionate warmth to our work together.
