This is me and my dog Julius. He is my love, my baby, my protector, and my spirit guide. We purchased Julius during COVID from an Amish breeder in Pennsylvania and took him home when he was 6-weeks old malnourished and with heartworm. We saved him but I truly believe he saved us just as much. We brought him to our warm, loving, and nurturing home and it’s been such an incredible journey. We’ve certainly navigated our challenges adjusting to life with Julius, just as we have with our children. He is such a beautiful soul, but certainly not perfect. Animals are so healing, and when we connect with them, we can heal eachother. I am so grateful for my dog. I can’t imagine my life without him.

So proud of my esteemed colleague and dear friend Emily Grossman in so many ways!

Personal Perspective: Getting on the faculty at a major research university doesn’t just represent a "win" for me. I hope it breaks through a glass ceiling.

As a Dance and Paychology Major at Connecticut College, I choreographed a duet for myself with a violinist who I danced with as he played. It was magical and one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever performed. My best friend’s mother, Nina Grossman, a talented artist, painted this picture of a photo taken of me during the performance in 1999.

I wanted to share it because I often think about how my years of studying and professionally dancing as a modern dancer in New York City for years inform my work as a therapist. Ultimately I treat each therapy session as a co-choreographed dance between myself and my client.

As a dancer, we are trained to be so attuned to our own and others bodies in the space. I do the same as a therapist. Dance classes begin with a warm-up at the barre, center work, and learning choreography. That holds true with a therapy…there’s a warm up, action, and processing. There are so many more overlaps and ways these two art forms intertwine (yes, I see being a therapist as an art form.)

All I know is that being a dancer has taught me so much about the human body, group work, creativity, spontaneity, and the body/mind connection, and I am beyond grateful for this knowledge that I bring to my work as a psychotherapist.

I am proud to announce that I am officially a Certified EMDR therapist. I became trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in 2017, shortly after I went into private practice. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to desensitize clients to traumatic events or phobias and repair them with positive belief about oneself. EMDR is one of my go-to tools in my toolbox for healing trauma and I am so grateful for this modality.

I’m so thrilled to be offering the Men’s KAP Circle again. The first circle was connecting, nurturing, and provided a safe container for men to be vulnerable, share, and heal.

Total investment: $500, not including medical intake and prescription.
