Welcome! I am a holistic psychotherapist with over 10 years experience working with individuals and couples. I tend to think outside the box and use a gentle engaged, interactive, collaborative, and creative approach.
I work with people to better understand their relationships, not only with partners and family members, but also relationship to stress, food, one's body, and one's self. I aim to help people feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin, engaged in and content with life, fully embodied in daily activities, sexually satisfied and empowered.
My professional and personal journey have led me to blend Western Psychology and Eastern Philosophy, mindfulness, compassion, breath and bodywork, mind-body techniques, and the creative healing arts when appropriate.
In a safe, warm, and nurturing environment, I work with individuals and couples to communicate more effectively and connect more fully with oneself. I look at the entire person, rather than a disorder or label. I recognize that one size does not fit all, and tailor my clinical approach to fit the unique needs and strengths of each individual.
I received my graduate degree from New York University, and have additional post-graduate psychotherapy training from The William Alanson White Institute, New York, NY and Council for Relationships in Philadelphia, PA. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist in New York State, and hold a national board certification in Music Therapy (MT-BC).
My training and employment history include The Council for Relationships, Drexel University, West Chester University, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Bellevue Medical Center, Hackensack University Medical Center, Montefiore Medical Center, The Juilliard School, The Renfrew Center, The Creative Therapies Institute, and Performance Wellness, Inc.
I am currently affiliated with the American Association of Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS), National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), American Counseling Association (ACA), Psychology Today, and Certification Board of Music Therapists.
