About My Clients

With over a decade of experience as a performer, I specialize in providing therapy tailored to the unique challenges of the theatre world. I understand the pressures of auditions and the tenuous balance of personal and professional life. We will explore identity and self-worth; separating success from self-value. Whether it's performance anxiety, rejection, or balance, I offer guidance and support. Let's foster resilience and fulfillment onstage and off.

My Background and Approach

Therapy with me is all about creating a genuine connection between two human beings. No empty nods or passive listening here! Whether you're an individual or part of a couple, I offer a warm and supportive space for growth, whether in person at my Midtown Manhattan office or virtually. My practice centers around attachment theory, focusing on practical strategies to shift attachment from insecurity to security. Additionally, I'm passionate about mindfulness and integrating holistic healing methods into therapy. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, relationship issues, or life transitions, I'm here to offer empathetic support every step of the way. Let's embark on this transformative journey of healing and growth with compassion, connection, and authenticity as our compass.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, my beliefs are deeply rooted in psychodynamic theory, which underscores the importance of exploring the past to understand the present and shape the future. I firmly believe in delving into the root of issues rather than merely addressing surface-level symptoms. This approach allows for meaningful and lasting change to occur, empowering individuals to rewrite their narratives authentically. Central to my approach is the belief in the transformative power of heartfelt connection between therapist and client. I strive to create a relational and collaborative space where clients feel both supported and empowered to grow. I bring honesty, authenticity, and a conversational style to my sessions, striking a balance between providing support and offering gentle challenges. Ultimately, my goal is to empower clients to embrace their authenticity, cultivate resilience, and become the authors of their own futures.
