I am a psychotherapist and Licensed Master Social Worker. My practice includes play therapy with children, and psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with adolescents and adults. I offer a non-judgmental space where people can explore their worries, stressors, and conflicts. Through a deep appreciation for the unconscious, I attend to each person’s unique patterns and experiences, offering a pathway to a freer and more fulfilling life.
In play therapy, I work with children (age 3-10) to address distressing feelings and behavioral patterns. I collaborate closely with parents and caregivers to provide support and understand each child’s full environment. My experience includes LGBTQ+ children and families, and those navigating divorce, loss, and shifting family dynamics.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. I have extensive experience working with gender and sexual minorities, and with people grappling with experiences of discontinuity — like major life transitions, relocating, or shifts in identity. I work with folks at least once per week, sometimes more frequently, in face-to-face psychotherapy and psychoanalysis using the couch.
About Me
I graduated with honors from the Silberman School of Social Work, where my clinical training included psychiatric social work, school-based psychotherapy with children, and home-visit therapy with children and families. I am part of Dulcinea Pitagora’s group private practice, which focuses on providing attuned, sensitive psychotherapy to gender and sexual minorities. I also practice psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with adults.
I am pursuing training in the Child and Adolescent Program at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR). My writing appears in the psychoanalytic journal Studies in Gender and Sexuality, where I am an Associate Editor. I collaborate frequently with colleagues on writing projects, peer study groups, and peer supervision. Before my career in clinical social work, I received degrees in the arts from Columbia University (B.A.) and Yale University (M.M.).
I offer in-person sessions in Lower Manhattan to children and adults. My office is ADA accessible and there is an all-gender bathroom on site. While I do not work with insurance companies directly, I can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
