About My Clients
If you're ready to make a change, but can't stand the idea of someone asking you "how did that make you feel" then you're in the right place. You want help making sense of what's going on? If you're ready to show up, then I won't promise you happiness, but I will promise to be your teammate and to use years of training to help you be the author of your own story.
My Background and Approach
My therapy style is highly interactive. I've been known to quote Freud, Drake and the Buddha in the same session. My sessions vary widely -- sometimes we'll sit and talk, other times I'll get us out into nature. Depending on your needs and interests, I might be as likely to ask you put together a playlist as I am to ask you to meditate with me. Whether we're talking about work stress, heartbreak, anxiety or compulsive porn use, you will have the tools to address your own BS, to take care of yourself, and manage your own life without needing me.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have spent the past ten years using poetry to open conversations about mental health on three continents. Videos of those spoken word performances have been viewed over 1 million times, and I think that's living proof that you can be depressed and be damn amazing at the same time. I am a Jewish, queerious, kink-affirming artist who is proudly in recovery. I hold a masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania, and have spent several months traveling through India to deepen my practice of Tibetan meditation and Ashtanga yoga. I also have more than 15 years of training in how to not give up on myself. I bring all of that with me into the therapy space. What will you bring? I have offices in both Philadelphia (Society Hill) and New York (Prospect Heights) on occupied Lenape land. I continue to my commitment to anti-racism work through ongoing study, peer supervision, and formal trainings.
