design consulting

As a practicing psychotherapist with a background in art and cultural history, I work from the premise that the spaces in which we live and work have a profound impact on how we feel. In designing therapeutic and residential spaces, I pull on my unique background and skillset to craft spaces that promote a sense of well-being and reflect the textured story of their occupants. The spaces I design are not the aseptic or on-trend spaces in design magazines, but come from gaining a deep understanding of what is meaningful and vital for the people using them.

I am based in New York City, but have lived and worked in Italy throughout my career. I hold a PhD from the University of Michigan, an MA from New York University, and a BA from Cornell University.
