My Services
Individual Therapy/Consultation
I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, tailored to the goals, strengths, and interests of each client. I will ask for your feedback along the way as to what approaches you are finding most helpful and least helpful. This collaborative process will help us maximize the effectiveness of our work towards your goals.

About Me
Originally from New York with Italian-American background, I have been living and practicing in New Zealand for over 9 years. I am very grateful to be raising my little one in the relative safety, stability, and incredible beauty of Aotearoa. I've worked with clients in settings ranging from prison to university, and you can count on my acceptance ‘as you are’ without judgment while helping you recognize, recover, and discover your own strengths.
