About Me

Opening up with someone new takes a great deal of vulnerability and continued trust. A strong therapeutic relationship is one of the pillars of a meaningful therapy experience, and through sharing a bit about myself here, I hope to help you get a sense of whether we might be a good fit.

I was born in England and grew up in both the UK and just outside of New York City in Northern New Jersey. Art has been a significant part of my life since I was young; I still paint and create mixed media art regularly, valuing it as a powerful means to express and process emotions, both for myself and my clients. As a former high school and college athlete, I also understand the mind-body connection and the resilience it takes to navigate both physical and emotional challenges. This perspective often informs the work I do with clients.

I knew by the age of 14 that I wanted to become a psychotherapist, but my official journey began in 2016 at New York University’s Silver School of Social Work. During my time at NYU, I concentrated on Child and Adolescent Mental Health in both school and inpatient settings. After earning my master’s degree, I worked in community mental health and group practice settings in New York City. I spent five years training at The William Alanson White Institute, a relational psychoanalytic institute in Manhattan, deepening my specialization in Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy and Eating Disorders. I currently serve as a supervisor in the Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy Training Program.

I’m passionate about supporting pre-teens, adolescents, and adults navigating eating disorders, chronic illness, complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. As a lifelong learner, I continually deepen my understanding through ongoing training, supervision, and teaching.
