About Me

“Though we tremble before uncertain futures, may we meet illness, death, and adversity with strength; may we dance in the face of our fears.“

— Gloria Anzaldúa

I think too much about everything. That’s good for you. My brain scans for ways I might support you at breakneck speed. You won’t notice. I will appear calm and supportive. I am listening. But also processing deeply.

Most of the people I work with think a lot about their lives. Often more than is comfortable.

I will care about you. Sorry. Not sorry. That’s just how I work.

I teach and perform improv comedy. I am afraid of looking stupid, because I’m human, but I also commit to it regularly. That’s how I grow and learn. It’s also a big part of why I can show up to therapy with humility. I know how to check my ego, which matters, because your therapy should be about you.

I am left-handed. I often wear bright colors. I’m from Long Island, New York, but will unconsciously disguise my accent unless you are also from Long Island.

I am culturally Jewish. I am not religious, though I do believe in God in my own way.

I am not perfect. I eat too much sugar. I should exercise more.

I won’t judge you.

I have a dog I love who drives me crazy. Most of my patience comes from being her dad.

I want to hear your stories and how you make sense of your life. I’ll ask questions like “what part of you feels that way?” because I actually want to know. I am interested in helping you understand and care for the younger parts of you that are still hurting from old wounds.

You deserve care. And kindness. And warmth. I’m glad you exist and I make sure you know that.

I hold space for your feelings. I also help you sort through them, when sorting feels helpful.

I went to art school. I love to make art.

I speak Spanish. I have lived in several states and another country. I’ve met a lot of different people. I’ve learned from all of them.

I want the best for you. If we meet once and it doesn’t feel like a good fit, I will gladly help you find a therapist who does feel right. Because you deserve a good therapist. You deserve good things.
