I knew I wanted to become a therapist at the age of 12, the day my mom dragged me to her psychology class. But knowing and accepting are two different things. Two years of music school, seven years of working in education, and countless hours of personal therapy later, I decided to begin grad school. I earned my master’s in positive psychology at University of Pennsylvania and two master’s degrees in counseling psychology at Columbia University, where I also earned an advanced certificate in working with LGBTQ+ and open and polyam concerns. I enjoy spending my free time writing and performing poetry, reading nerdy psychology books, and playing board games with whoever will play with me.

I take a culturally humble approach to therapy, educating myself about my clients’ backgrounds and identities and how I can best be helpful. Fully aware that books and articles have nothing on a person’s experiences, I honor each person's unique story, establishing a therapeutic relationship that is both collaborative and warm. I draw from my expertise in positive psychology and sexuality, and I combine this with my training in relational and social justice therapy to craft a tailored approach to each individual that enters my office.
