ABOUT ME
I am a mental health clinician (LMSW) based in New York, USA. My approach is psychodynamic, rooted in transpersonal psychology, and complemented by evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I also integrate holistic and alternative modalities, such as mindfulness, pranayama, and somatic practices, recognizing the importance of addressing the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.
My personal therapeutic journey has been deeply informed by experiences with entheogenic medicines in legal and ceremonial settings in Peru and Costa Rica, including Ayahuasca, Iboga, Peyote, Huachuma, Bufo Alvarius, Cannabis, and Psilocybin Mushrooms. While I maintain a boundary between my professional work and personal experiences, both enrich my understanding of transformation and growth.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (BA) and a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) from Montclair State University, and a Master of Science in Advanced Clinical Social Work Practice (MSW) from Columbia University.
THE APPROACH
I offer coaching services internationally. In our work together, I do not position myself as an expert but rather as a guide, facilitating your unique path to self-discovery. My role is not to motivate or inspire, and I only provide advice when it is requested. Drawing from my formal education, nearly twenty years of professional teaching experience, and my own ongoing journey of personal growth, I empower you through skillful questions and in-depth exploration.
As your coach, I offer a focused environment for exploring your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a way that supports true growth. I assist clients to identify, dismantle, and overcome limiting beliefs, cultivate new perspectives, and develop resilience. Whether you are seeking to improve personal relationships, navigate pivotal life changes, deepen self-awareness, or integrate psychedelic or mystical experiences, our sessions will center on practical tools and techniques tailored to your individual needs.
My goal is to help you uncover your own answers by blending psycho-education with scientific research and established psychological intervention models. Our collaboration involves mutually agreed-upon action steps after each session to transform tools and techniques into experiential knowledge. I advocate for a finite course of work together, encouraging instead your self-sufficiency and sovereignty.
ABOUT YOU
You are ready to do the real work and achieve tangible results. You are driven and committed to meaningful change. You value honest feedback, genuine insights, and a collaborative approach that challenges you to explore new possibilities. You are ready to dive in, move beyond old patterns, and embrace an authentic way of being that allows you—and those in your world—to thrive. The endless cycle of “healing” no longer interests you; you are ready to actualize your fullest potential.
You are done with motivational soundbites and superficial rhetoric. You have had enough of low-information, self-aggrandizing coaches who use clients to validate their own self-importance, offering hollow platitudes that are more about them than you. You want substance over performance—an approach that filters out the noise and respects the complexity of your path. You want an ally with legitimate education and experience, who listens deeply, challenges you thoughtfully, and prioritizes your growth with integrity. You want to be met at your depth and be held accountable for the transformation you are eager to make.
If this resonates, and you are serious about stepping into the best version of yourself to create deep and lasting change, let’s get connected and get to work.
