Nice to meet you

I take an exploratory approach to counseling, believing that you are the expert on yourself. My role is to facilitate conversations that help you work toward your goals. I don’t dispense advice or directives; instead, I ask questions and collaborate with you in a space that feels open, safe, and judgment-free. I’m not easily offended and encourage you to share any thoughts—even outrageous ones. If something is funny, I’ll laugh along, even when the topic is serious. I believe in the healing power of humor and find that recognizing absurdity in difficult situations can be an important part of the process.

Interests

I am an avid moviegoer—living in NYC, there is never a shortage of new films to see each week. You'll often find me at an indie theater or using my AMC A-List pass. I also find joy in taking walks around my neighborhood, swimming at the YMCA, and sitting on a park bench reading a library book.
