I'm a psychotherapist as well as a registered dietitian, and I'm here to work with you to improve the quality of your life using either psychotherapy or nutrition. As a psychotherapist, I work with adults on issues ranging from but not limited to, multicultural and LGBTQ issues, general stressors of life, anxiety, depression, interpersonal/family/relationship issues, and developing healthy coping skills.
As a registered dietitian and nutritionist, I work primarily with adults in recovery for eating disorders or who are managing other chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. As your clinician, I hope to partner with you to develop the skills you need to deepen your insights and gain the clarity you may need at this moment.
To that end, I invite you to bring your strengths, challenges, hopes, fears, and your intersecting identities to our work together. No matter if it's psychotherapeutic issues or nutrition related issues, I hope to support you in a way that is adaptive, responsive, and challenges you to grow.

Services
Since 2012, I have practiced as a registered dietitian and nutritionist working primarily with eating disorders, HIV/AIDS, and with LGBTQ communities.
In 2016, I founded a private practice in New York City specializing in the treatment of eating disorders.
While in private practice, I returned to school to complete advance training as a mental health clinician, graduating in 2018 from the New York University (NYU) Silver School of Social Work with a masters degree focusing on social justice and mental health counseling.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool to enhance the quality of one's life.
This might mean working to improve various aspects of your support systems, relationships, examining patterns that don't seem to serve you any longer, setting healthy boundaries, or developing self-compassion.
Alternatively, you may be feeling overwhelmed or in a crisis and simply need somebody to speak with.
Regardless of what brings you to psychotherapy, we will work together to create a non-judgmental space that allows you to explore, express, and experience growth and healing at your own pace.

As a trained mental health clinician and registered dietitian nutritionist, I know how hard it can be to make a lifestyle change on your own.
Whether it's finding the right routine for you, or feeling comfortable trying a new meal, challenges are easier to undertake when you have a partner to work through the details with.
As your dietitian, I hope to partner with you and your treatment team to create an individualized plan that fits into your life.
Through this process, I'll assist you by creating plans that are manageable despite the difficulties, and structured, but still flexible enough to respond to unexpected obstacles.

No, not at this time, however if your insurance offers out-of-network benefits I can provide you with superbills that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
If you'd like to use insurance to cover your sessions, it's important to check with your insurance company directly to clarify your benefits.
I would be considered an out-of-network provider, and you would be receiving individual counseling, out-patient mental health services with a licensed associate clinical social worker.
My services may be covered in full, in part, or not at all by your health insurance or employee benefit plan.

If we both agree that we would be a good fit to work together, we will schedule an initial appointment.
However, if we feel that you might need a different type of treatment, or provider, I would be happy to provide you with referrals based on our conversation.
The initial appointment is about 50 minutes.
We will review paperwork, and I will ask you very broad but directed questions about multiple areas of your life in order to help contextualize our following conversations.
This will include questions about your medical history, family, social support, symptoms that you might be experiencing, and anything else that might be relevant to working together.
