I’m a psychotherapist, supervisor, and founder of Atrium Psychotherapy, a psychodynamic group practice based in the West Village.
My path to becoming a therapist was born out of a genuine fascination with human nature. This curiosity initially led me to study visual art at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), yoga, and my own dreams. I eventually went to the West Coast to pursue graduate training in Jungian-oriented Counseling at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a retreat-style program in the mountains of Santa Barbara. However, NYC has my heart, and I’m delighted to practice here.
I have a special connection with artists, writers, and creatives, and I help clients navigate challenges such as creative blocks, resistance to starting a project, balancing art and life, and tolerating the uncertainties of the creative process. I also work with high achievers and founders who are navigating questions of ambition, identity, and internal conflict.
In addition to my clinical work, I regularly write and teach on topics like dream analysis, unconscious process, and the mythical dimensions of eating disorders. My paper Queen of the Dead: Psychic Retreats and Anorexia, co-authored with writer Kathryn Harrison, was nominated for a 2021 Gradiva Student Paper award. I used to run a dream advice column for the brand Free People and have offered on-site dream interpretation at activation events. I’m currently immersed in a writing project that brings together psychoanalytic thinking, the body, appetite, and the feminine in myths and fairy tales.
Beyond my private practice and supervisory role at Atrium, I teach in NYU’s Mental Health Counseling Program. Students often describe my classes as playgrounds for exploring ideas and deeply integrating depth-oriented approaches in clinical work. I’m also in my seventh year of psychoanalytic training at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) in Greenwich Village.
