How I Work

The ways we make sense of our experiences often become the framework through which we interpret the present. In psychotherapy we explore the narratives people carry about themselves, their relationships, and their past.

In addition to being a licensed clinician, I hold an MFA in creative writing from Sarah Lawrence College with a concentration in personal narrative. This training informs how I listen for patterns in language, meaning, and identity. Often the stories we tell about ourselves become fixed over time. Therapy creates space to examine those narratives and develop a more flexible understanding of who we are and how we want to live.

While insight is central to the work, our focus also includes behavioral change. Together we identify patterns that no longer serve you and develop practical ways to interrupt them.

Experience and Training

Over the past decade I have worked in clinical settings in both Los Angeles and New York. In 2013 I helped launch Monte Nido Manhattan, a partial hospitalization program specializing in eating disorder treatment, where I served as Clinical Director overseeing all aspects of care.

I now maintain a private psychotherapy practice. I have advanced training in eating disorder treatment through the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and CBT-E training through the Centre for Research on Eating Disorders at Oxford. I am also a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist through IAEDP.

I have completed training in grief therapy through the Center for Prolonged Grief at Columbia University and work with individuals navigating loss, major life transitions, and periods of emotional uncertainty.

Areas of Focus

Eating disorders and body image concerns
Anxiety and emotional regulation
Relationship and couples therapy
Grief and loss

I also provide consultation and care coordination for families navigating the eating disorder treatment system, including treatment planning and multidisciplinary team coordination.
