Welcome
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, or past traumas? I am here to
help you find your way through distress toward the life you envision. Together we will highlight
your strengths, deepen self-compassion for your wounds and conflicts, and develop ways for
you to live your life with greater peace and clarity.
Mood and Anxiety
If you feel depressed or anxious, I will introduce you to treatments such as ACT (Acceptance
and Commitment Therapy), an approach that helps clients get unstuck from their negative
thoughts, accept themselves, and lead more value-driven lives. We will also: work on healthy
coping skills to relieve daily symptoms; look at your attachment style and how it affects your
mood and anxiety level; and discuss the way you feel inside your relationships. We will ask: Can
I accept my relationships as they are? What confrontations do I want to have? How can I better
enjoy the important people in my life? How can I end a relationship when I need to?
I am certified in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) by the Seleni Institute of NYC. I
can help you navigate the sensitive perinatal timeframe by guiding you toward self-reflection
and healthy coping skills as you move through it.
Infertility and Pregnancy Loss
I am certified in Infertility for Mental Health Professionals by the American Society of
Reproductive Medicine and Perinatal Loss and Grief by the Seleni Institute of NYC. My specialty
in infertility and pregnancy loss comes by way of my own life experience with recurrent
pregnancy loss (RPL), fertility treatments, and pregnancy via treatment. Perhaps you want to
discuss fertility treatments, adoption, or a child-free life. If you have had a miscarriage or
stillbirth, I am here to provide sensitive support and guidance.
Relationships and Sex
I treat spouses, couples, and those in other kinds of intimate relationships as they process
conflict and growth. I also assess and treat sex issues, working with clients on desire
discrepancy and ways to increase intimacy through communication and exploration. Our
therapy will be a safe space for you to talk about things such as kink, BDSM, polyamory, and
your sexual preferences and identities.
Alcohol Use
I provide a nonjudgmental treatment of alcohol-use issues that focuses on curiosity, motivation
for change, and practical alcohol-intake tracking tips. If you are questioning your drinking habits
and are open to taking steps toward moderation or abstinence, we will co-create a plan for you.
How I Help
My approach is warm, inclusive, and nurturing while also confrontational. I will help you
confront, but I will also help you take good care of your good self. We will look at how past
events and important relationships affect you, and we will co-create a toolbox for you filled
with techniques derived from ACT, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, CBT/DBT, and creative
arts therapies. No matter which approach we use, self-compassion will be our first step.
I hold a BC-TMH, which means I am Board-Certified in TeleMental Health, uniquely trained in
nationally established best practices for delivering traditional psychotherapy/counseling
through technological means. All of our sessions will take place via private video calls.
More About Me
I have an MSW from the City University of New York, Hunter College, and have worked at the
Latino Commission on AIDS, at a nursing center in Long Island, and on a suicide crisis hotline,
among other places. In my previous life, I earned an MFA and was a writer and magazine and
book editor in NYC. Now I have an easel where I paint and a home music studio where I make
music with my husband and little boy. My ideal vacation includes yoga and snorkeling and time
to write fiction.
