My Belief

I believe every one of us have encountered unique challenges that affect how we think, feel, and function in our daily lives. These challenges often lead us to be harsh, inflexible, and unforgiving to ourselves, causing unwanted consequences in our relationships (with ourselves and others), work, and families. My goal with clients is to help you gain knowledge, skills, and compassion as we explore these challenges and find new ways for you to relate to yourself and the world.

Individual Therapy

My therapeutic work addresses issues around anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I frequently work with individuals in high-performance fields, such as technology, finance, and medicine around burnout, life satisfaction, and building functional strategies to promote social and emotional well-being.

I have extensive experience working with trauma, including healthcare workers, interpersonal violence, sexual assault, family dysfunction, and military combat.

I use warmth, humor, and practicality to empower change. I take an active role in the therapy room, often asking questions and providing reflections that help facilitate understanding. My goal is to help clients build a mental health “toolbox” of practical skills and deep insight around when and how to use those skills.

Self-Compassion Skills Group

At some point we all have that inner voice that tells us we’re not enough. We all too often treat ourselves with judgment, criticism, and unkindness that leaves us feeling emotionally and physically depleted. Through this group, you will learn to recognize the act of self-judgment in your daily life and respond to yourself in a compassionate, more loving way. The group offers step-by-step instructions on how to compassionately respond to yourself, provides a setting in which to practice compassionate responses on yourself and with others, and helps to plan for a more intentional, self-compassionate future.

This is a 4-week group, that meets for 90-minutes each week.

About me

I believe that the core of therapeutic change comes from a foundational relationship of trust and vulnerability between client and therapist.  My hope is that through sharing a bit about myself, prospective clients can get a small sense of the experiences I bring to the therapeutic relationship.
Though I have happily called New York City home for many years now, I grew up in rural Upstate New York surrounded by farms and nature.   This instilled a deep appreciation in me for the benefits of the natural world and what I now understand to be the practice of mindfulness.  After receiving my Ph.D. in Knoxville, Tennessee, I moved to New York City and went through what so many new and old New Yorkers go through when adjusting to life in such a busy and, at-times intimidating city.   I now use the practice of mindfulness to help myself and those I work with in navigating the business of our every day (especially in a city like ours). 
I offer a unique perspective in my therapy that embraces the wide variety of experiences, cultures, and people I have encountered along the way.  I have worked in hospitals, nonprofit organizations, and community mental health clinics from New York City to rural Appalachia. Prior to starting JustWell Psychology, I worked at a private, Manhattan-based therapy group, as well as the Manhattan VA. 
Regardless of the setting, I strive to provide culturally informed therapy to individuals of all sociocultural identities and believe in the importance of understanding how systems outside of the individual can influence one’s understanding of themselves.
