Do you struggle to communicate in your romantic, sexual, work, or family relationships? Have you ever reacted strongly (anger, resentment, fear) and then felt bewildered by where that strong reaction came from? It can be so hard to express our emotions and even harder to understand them. My specialty in therapy is relationships, and here’s what I believe: if you want better relationships with others, it’s crucial to have a good relationship with yourself. It makes sense that we have a hard time talking about our feelings as adults since most of us weren’t taught how to share our emotions to begin with, and so our needs often go unmet. In my work with couples and individuals, I help find words to match what you’re feeling. We’ll set goals like decreasing anxiety, strengthening communication skills, heightening self-awareness, and learning to accept what is or isn’t in your control.
I believe therapy presents an extraordinary opportunity to get to know yourself better. As your therapist, I’ll encourage you to be curious about your past in order to understand yourself in the present, and together we can discover what might be possible for you going forward. I know it’s not easy to seek help. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, the fact that you’re reading this is significant. It means you’re ready for something to change. No topic is off limits here; whatever you might be going through or even just thinking about is worthy of our time. I look forward to hearing from you whenever you’re ready to begin.
Born and raised in New York City, I graduated with honors from Fordham University with a Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling. Prior to my psychotherapy training I worked in the music industry and as a community organizer, diverse experiences which led me to create a research initiative examining the often-blurry intersection between career and identity.
