My communication style

I just don't take life that seriously. My approach is to be curious, warm, compassionate, with a little humor thrown in. I am direct and am always striving to help you be your best self.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist in my second chapter of life. I never thought I's be a therapist. I went to art school in NYC and figured that would be my path. Weirdly, my therapist told me that she thought I would be a good therapist. That was unexpected. I had realized that over the years, people would come to me for advice or wisdom. My second chapter.

My goals for you

First... what you perceive as the problem. Then, what can we achieve in the short and long term. There may be several things that you want to work on, and I'll typically say, "what feels most pressing?"

Our first session

In our first session together I will probably be asking you a lot of questions about yourself and what brought you to therapy. I most likely will ask about your life in the present, and what it was like for you to grow up in your family of origin. How did you become the person that showed up in therapy today?

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Jewish
