About

I specialize in helping couples and families develop more fulfilling relationships. In my Manhattan-based private practice I also see individuals and provide counseling to people in recovery, and previously worked in community-based settings with persons in crisis and their families. My work is inspired by structural family therapy, dialogical practice, and relational psychodynamic approaches.

I grew up in New York City, and became interested in how dialogue helps through my own life experiences. Lifelong learning is central to my practice; I am passionate about engaging in ongoing systemic training and supervision. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and dog.
