Prior to private practice, I worked as a therapist with veterans healing from PTSD and traumatic brain injury; with individuals seeking asylum in the United States; and with individuals who have lost loved ones in acts of extreme violence.  Before attending graduate school at New York University to become a therapist, I served as a paralegal and translator for survivors of trafficking.  I also worked alongside artists, psychologists, and social workers in Medellín, Colombia, through a fellowship from Princeton University.  These experiences were quite formative for me, as I witnessed the power of healing practices that uplift connections between people, communities, and the land. Painting, boxing, and gardening balance out my work as a therapist. These practices help me be present in my body and provide outlets for release and connection.

Through a gentle approach that involves mind and body, I will support you in slowing down in order to pay attention to your emotions and check in with how your nervous system is responding.  This practice of learning how to stay present with both the pleasant and unpleasant emotions and sensations will help you develop the confidence of knowing that you can handle the big sensations connected with your emotional experiences.  You’ll find that your capacity to feel joy, spontaneity, and creative freedom will expand as anger, grief, and healthy aggression are progressively recognized and integrated. Cultivating a dual awareness of the past and present—while staying anchored in the physical experience of the present moment—can help you move away from reactionary responses and towards agency and choice.  When we stop burying pain and discomfort, we free ourselves to pursue a life that isn’t about avoiding suffering, but rather about seeking fulfillment and connection, awakening creativity, and expanding our capacity to love and be loved. Art Therapy  In addition to talk therapy, I offer art therapy as a way of deepening connection to self.  Art therapy allows for your feelings to be seen visually and felt tangibly through the creation of images and objects.  As you make art in a session, you may call forth memories, emotions, and thoughts that were previously unspoken or pushed away.  Together, we can explore the feelings and insights that emerge as you tap into your creative wisdom and form new meanings.
