psychotherapist

I believe that the work of therapy can be sacred and transformative. I strive to co-create an environment of trust, safety, and connection, where all parts of yourself are welcomed and tended to with care. Through my warm and empathic stance, we’ll get curious about
patterns from the past that may be keeping you stuck and experiment with new ways of being that align more deeply with your true needs and wants. We will acknowledge the brilliance of these survival strategies, recognize how they may be limiting you, and work
together to facilitate a sense of greater self-alignment and joy.
 

Prior to Walnut, I was a union organizer, led therapeutic groups for elders with disabilities, and worked at a college counseling center. I've supported clients across many social locations, and I deeply honor the richness of human diversity. I'm particularly drawn to
couples, as well as folks navigating chronic illness, relational challenges, identity exploration, anxiety, and life transitions.
 

I also view our relationship as central to the healing process. As a white, queer, Jewish person, I aim to attune to the many power dynamics and traumas that shape our relational and social world while continually unraveling how my privileges impact my perspectives, awareness, and capacity as a clinician.
 

In our sessions, we’ll explore the root of your struggles using trauma-informed, somatic, mindfulness-based, and psychodynamic approaches to foster insight and compassion.I trust that you are the expert of your experience and already hold the wisdom needed to
heal. My role is to help you access that wisdom as we work toward meaningful change for a fuller, more balanced life.
