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 between the UK and just outside New York City, in Northern New Jersey. By the age of 14, I knew I wanted to become a psychotherapist, though my official journey began in 2016 at New York University. While at NYU, I focused 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, and spent five years completing advanced post-graduate training at The William Alanson White Institute, a relational psychoanalytic institute in Manhattan.

Art has been a thread running throughout my life as a way to connect, feel, and give shape to emotional experience. I continue to paint and explore mixed-media work as both a creative and emotional practice. As a former high school and college athlete, I have experienced the power of the mind-body connection, an understanding I also bring into the therapy room. These experiences have given me a deeper appreciation for creativity, perseverance, and the many ways people explore, process, and express their inner worlds.

I am passionate about working with those navigating complex trauma, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, and chronic illness. I continually deepen my understanding through ongoing training, supervision, and teaching.
