My Approach

I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapy relationship and a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and the patterns that shape your life. My approach is grounded in relational psychodynamic therapy, while integrating evidence-based treatments and practical tools to address current concerns and support lasting change.

I strive to create a warm, collaborative environment where clients can explore themselves with curiosity and compassion. Together, we work to understand the challenges you are facing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop strategies that support growth and meaningful change.

My training and clinical experience span the lifespan and include work with a wide range of mental health concerns, allowing me to tailor treatment to each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, phobias, relationship difficulties, spiritual or religious concerns, and psychotic disorders or distressing thoughts and perceptions.

Together, we will develop a treatment approach that honors your unique experiences and supports greater understanding, connection, and well-being.

What You Can Expect

Therapy is a collaborative process. Understanding your unique experiences, goals, and needs is essential as we work together to develop an approach that feels meaningful and effective. Throughout therapy, we will regularly reflect on your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

The frequency and length of therapy are personalized based on your goals, needs, and the concerns you are seeking support with. While many clients begin with weekly sessions to establish consistency and momentum, some may benefit from biweekly sessions depending on their circumstances and stage of treatment.

Research & Professional Interests

My research interests focus on the intersection of identity, belonging, mental health, and the ways individuals navigate significant personal and cultural transitions.

My doctoral research explored the experiences of individuals living with concealed nonbelief within ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, examining the psychological and relational impact of navigating a private identity that differs from one's surrounding community. This work contributes to a broader understanding of the challenges faced by individuals who feel compelled to conceal important aspects of themselves and highlights the importance of culturally sensitive, compassionate clinical care.

My research continues to inform my clinical work with individuals navigating questions of identity, values, spirituality, faith transitions, and the complex process of understanding oneself within the context of relationships and community.
