Therapist in New York, NY

About My Clients

I often find that people come to therapy feeling stuck, trapped, or lost and without direction. Those feelings are really hard to deal with alone. In my sessions, I guide us towards deep exploration in order get to the bottom of what is really going on so that we can figure out how to build a life of deeper fulfillment and connectedness. Together, we can discover what it means to survive and thrive in this world despite all the ways it drags us down.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is eclectic and creative, pulling from various modalities such as psychodynamic, relational, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based practices. My approach also rests purposefully at the intersection of liberation psychology and healing justice frameworks, which emphasize healing and social change as interdependent processes. I aim to foster a caring and confronting environment in order to support the unique goals and growth of my patients, co-creating a healing journey that works for your individual needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My work is centered on the belief that healing is political. I work with my patients to bridge their personal healing journeys with social change; to navigate what it means to hold presence with the world as it is, while also enacting visions for the world as it could be. I practice therapy in a worker cooperative called: Alliance Psychological Services of New York. My co-op was founded upon anarchist and intersectional feminist values. We believe in non-hierarchy and resistance to authority. We actively oppose the mental health industrial complex and its use of the power to define "sanity" as a method of social control.
