A Bit About Me

I am a licensed clinical counselor who provides support to individuals who are looking to understand themselves and their suffering better. I approach my work through narrative story, somatic practices, and relational repair. I’ve always loved a compelling story; each person has their own story to tell. I’ve also grown to understand the power of movement and relationship in the healing process.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent ten years in talent recruitment, working with diverse companies and industries–ranging from financial services to creative agencies and consulting firms. My experience deeply impacted me as I witnessed the dehumanizing aspects of the hiring process and job search. Each role shaped my perspective on company decision-making and its profound effect on employee satisfaction. Throughout my career in the corporate world, I was fortunate to mentor and hire hundreds of professionals, gifting me with valuable insights and lessons along the way.   

My search for internal understanding led me to dedicate this last chapter of my life to self-discovery and growth.  My extensive work with a psychoanalyst and continued study in psychology, nutrition, and exercise inspired my transition into career development and eventually mental health counseling. I earned a Master’s in Counseling from The City College of New York, where my research focused on complex traumatic stress and developmental trauma. 

My work now involves guiding individuals through the process of uncovering unconscious patterns and beliefs so they can better understand their values and strengths. I provide in-depth relational therapy both in my private practice and at Blanton Peale Institute and Counseling Center in NYC.  My mission is to help others pursue meaning and create fulfillment in their work and personal lives.

Outside of my clinical work, you'll find me exploring new restaurants in the city, reliving ’90s dance parties in a studio, or practicing Ashtanga yoga. As a California native, I’ve called New York City home for most of my adult life, and I’m forever grateful for its cultural richness and opportunity.
