It can take a while to recognize that our thoughts and behaviors have a profound impact on our emotional and physical well-being, but more and more research shows that this is, in fact, the case.

By understanding our mental patterns and our habits of behavior, we gain the self-awareness necessary to make change.

Audrey understands the incredible power of a strong therapeutic alliance and is dedicated to creating an empowering and nurturing space for her clients. Working collaboratively, Audrey’s clients develop a grounded conviction in their ability to achieve a steady state of well-being amid life’s inevitable challenges.

Drawing from both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Audrey’s approach emphasizes mindfulness as a powerful tool to support and expedite the achievement of her client’s goals.

Recognizing that one’s thoughts are distinct and separate from them is the first step in making any cognitive shift. With more awareness, Audrey’s clients are able to make choices based on their values and intentions, and can more easily move towards a more centered and fulfilling life experience.

Training & Clinical Experience

Audrey is a graduate of New York University’s Silver School of Social Work, where she learned and applied a variety of therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness and the therapeutic arts. She received her bachelor’s degree in Urban Studies from Brown University, where she learned how policy and practice impact the health and well-being of communities, families and individuals.

Prior to becoming a therapist, Audrey worked in several non-profit settings; most recently, Audrey focused on supporting social emotional growth in adolescents with a history of adversity and trauma, who were facing mental health struggles ranging from self-injury and suicidality to anxiety and depression.

Throughout her career, Audrey has come to understand the power of intention and mindset, and the incredible value of supportive relationships in helping people move through life’s various challenges and growth opportunities.
