BIOGRAPHY
A little about
who I am.
I'
m an Associate Therapist at Insight & Action Therapy in New York City. I specialize in eating disorders and disordered eating,
anxiety, self-esteem, substance use and recovery, ADHD, neurodivergence, and life transitions.
Before I became a therapist, I was a journalist, and that background fundamentally shapes the way I work. I understand that reality is largely constructed through language, and that the stories we tell about ourselves, our relationships, and our place in the world have a profound power over how we think, feel, and behave. In the therapy setting, I work collaboratively with clients to examine those narratives and build new ones that better serve who they are and who they want to become.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from Barnard College, Columbia University, with a focus on how social media impacts interpersonal connectedness; a Master's degree in Journalism from Concordia University in Montreal; and a Master's of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College, CUNY. Prior to my current clinical work, I assisted individuals in recovery from substance use and alcoholism through both therapeutic and vocational counseling.
Eating Disorder Therapy and Disordered Eating Support in New York City
Eating disorders and disordered eating are a primary clinical focus of my practice. I work with clients navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and a wide spectrum of disordered eating patterns and complicated relationships with food and body image. My approach to eating disorder therapy is compassionate, non-judgmental, and rooted in a deep understanding of the psychological, social, and cultural factors that drive these experiences.
Holistic and Mind-Body Therapy in New York
As a registered yoga teacher, I bring an awareness of the mind-body connection to my therapeutic work. I incorporate somatic and mindfulness-informed techniques in ways that feel natural and grounded, helping clients develop a more attuned, compassionate relationship with their bodies alongside their emotional and psychological growth.
Multicultural Therapy and Culturally Sensitive Counseling
Having grown up as a member of a United Nations family and a student of international schools, I bring a rich multicultural perspective to my clinical practice. I'm deeply committed to culturally sensitive, multicultural counseling, and to creating a space where clients from all backgrounds, including international, multilingual, and multicultural clients, feel genuinely seen, understood, and affirmed.
MY APPROACH
Story, then rewrite.
The stories we tell ourselves about who we are shape everything. Together, we'll look at the ones you've been carrying and rewrite the ones that no longer fit.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities tailored to each client's individual needs and goals. I draw ideas from person-centered therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy, as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). As a registered yoga teacher, I also weave mindfulness and somatic awareness into my work with clients for whom the mind-body connection is an important part of healing.
Central to everything I do is the therapeutic alliance. I'm attentive to what motivates each client, and work to create a warm, collaborative environment where clients feel genuinely comfortable, seen, and free to express themselves in whatever way feels most natural. I approach all of my clinical work with mindfulness and compassion, helping clients understand and reframe problematic or intrusive thoughts, boost mood and self-insight, and cultivate a healthier, more compassionate relationship with themselves and others.
"From our very first session, I felt genuinely understood and supported. I have nothing but positive things to say"
