About

As a psychotherapist with both an MA in Mental Health Counseling and an MFA in Studio Art, I am influenced by the interweaving of creativity and contemporary psychology. I am also deeply informed by Buddhist psychology and the pragmatic and loving perspective and techniques it offers to understand and decrease suffering. Working from a trauma-informed integrative approach allows me to utilize the many benefits from multiple theoretical approaches, including insight based therapy, feminist therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

With my background in art, I know that it is possible to imagine and create something new and meaningful in our lives. Everyone has the potential to grow, heal, and change. Everyone has the capacity to connect to their inherent goodness, wisdom, and peace.

I have provided psychotherapy services to a diverse group of clients from multiple cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, sexualities, ages, and gender identities.

In addition to graduate degrees in counseling and art, I completed my clinical internship and post-grad training at Blanton-Peale Counseling Center and a two-year post-grad fellowship with Contemplative Psychology and Emily Wolf, PhD. I’m certified in Contemplative Care from the New York Zen Center, provided spiritual care to patients at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, and currently training in Buddhist psychotherapy at Spirit Rock Meditation Center with Matthew Brensilver, PhD.
