About Me

I believe in our inherent wisdom and ability to heal. Working from a place of curiosity, together we can navigate your unique process.

As a therapist and yoga teacher, I understand that by tuning into our bodies, we can uncover our path to internal knowledge and deepen our connection with ourselves and others. I integrate a foundation of mindfulness and encourage the exploration of both the light and dark that inhabit our internal landscapes. Together we will uncover how outdated beliefs may obstruct your personal growth and how, through shifting beliefs, it becomes possible to change behaviors that are no longer serving you.

I work with adults and adolescents ages 16+. I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, depression and trauma. My treatment approach is informed by the belief that all humans have the fundamental right to health and joy. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I work with eating disorders from a Health at Every Size frame. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University and I am certified in EMDR. Prior to working in private practice, I worked with eating disorders at both the Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient levels of care.

I am licensed to practice in New York State (License #). I currently live with my family on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten.

New to therapy? Here’s how it works

  • Assessment and Goals: In your first session, I will conduct an initial assessment to understand your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This helps me create a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

    Establishing Connection: Establishing a comfortable and trusting relationship is crucial. You'll have the opportunity to ask me questions, share your expectations, and we can discuss any concerns you may have about the therapy process. I firmly believe that finding the right therapist for you is essential to therapy being effective. If it doesn't feel like I'm the right fit, I am happy to help you find someone who is.

  • Safe and Confidential Environment: Therapy sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can openly discuss your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

    Active Participation: Therapy is a collaborative process. We will work to explore your struggles, develop insights, and create strategies for change. Active participation and openness to the process are key to achieving positive outcomes.

  • Regular Check-Ins: Periodically, we will check in about how our work is feeling, discuss what's working, and adjust our approach if needed. Open communication about your experience is essential to ensure that therapy is effective for you.

    Ongoing Commitment: The length and frequency of therapy vary depending on your goals and needs. Some individuals use therapy to address a specific concern, while others use it as an ongoing space for self reflection and support.

  • Emotional Ups and Downs: It's normal to experience a range of emotions during therapy. Some sessions might be challenging and bring up difficult feelings, while others may leave you feeling relieved and empowered.

    Gradual Change: Personal growth and change often happen gradually, and healing is very rarely linear. Patience and commitment to the process are important as you work towards your goals.
