My communication style

I’m quite direct (I'm from NYC), curious, and not afraid to ask hard questions. I have a sense of lightness because not all serious problems require serious solutions. Sometimes it's about rediscovering what makes us come alive, and then finding ways to go do that.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because deep, honest conversation is my favorite thing in life. I started out teaching, then spent years working with youth and adults in Colorado before going into private practice. My practice is shaped by over a decade of yoga, meditation, and a strong belief in the mind-body connection.

My goals for you

We get clear on what you actually want, then I stay in it with you — paying attention, asking questions, and holding you accountable, even between sessions. The real goal is that you leave more confident in your own decisions, without needing me or anyone else's approval.

Our first session

We will get to know each other from a high-level before diving deep. I will get a pulse check for what actually matters to you. It's a mutual gut-check: I'm learning your story, and you're getting a feel for whether I'm the right person for your corner.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
• Jewish, Spiritual
