About Me

Hi! I was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City in a bi-cultural household. As a young child I experienced the loss of my father due to cancer, lived through 9-11 as a recent college graduate, and later, Hurricane Katrina when I was living in the vibrant city of New Orleans.

One of my favorite books is ‘Going on a Bear Hunt"‘ by Michael Wayne Rosen. And one of my favorite quotes from the book is “You can’t go over it, you can’t go under it, you have to go through it”. This is the crux of therapeutic philosophy, and I understand how difficult and painful moving through discomfort can be.

Having moved through trauma, grief and loss with the assistance of a therapist, I know and understand the complexity around accepting the cards one is dealt. I also deeply understand the internal stress that comes with forced code-switching and adapting your true self to fit the expectations of ones current and immediate environment.

After relocating throughout the country for a decade, I settled in Denver where I enjoy everything the Rocky Mountains has to offer despite being a water baby at heart. I am a musician and love live music, so if there’s a band in town, you can often find me singing and dancing along.

I live with my two school-age daughters in Denver after having successfully navigated a divorce. We also have two rescue puppies in our home, Confetti and Cookie. On occasion, Confetti joins me for sessions to provide some therapeutic canine care and cuddles.
