About Me
Psychotherapy is ultimately about living a fuller, more meaningful life. I approach this work empathically and collaboratively. Often getting unstuck involves helping you identify the relational patterns that play out without your noticing. With each person or couple, I develop an individual plan of action that builds on your strengths to bring more balance, meaning, and ease into your life.
The process looks different depending on who's in the room. With couples, I help you understand the dynamic between you — what each of you brings, how each of you gets activated, and how to make effective repairs. With individuals, I help you see the repeated cycles you carry into every relationship, romantic and otherwise, and how to change them. And in collaborative breakups, I help partners ending a relationship do so with as much care and clarity as they once tried to build it with, through a structured six-session breakup therapy protocol.
Earlier in my career, I worked internationally for the UN and in the field of human rights. I have continued my international human rights work through Physicians for Human Rights, the Global Psychosocial Network, and the Mount Sinai Human Rights Clinic. I am also an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where I teach and supervise.
