Nathaniel believes in the importance of human connection and authenticity to promote healing. By cultivating a warm and genuine therapist-client relationship, Nathaniel provides a supportive, empathic, and curious space for clients to explore their lives. Coming from an editorial background, Nathaniel believes in the power of storytelling and narrative to shape our present, heal from our past, and work towards an empowering future.

Above all, Nathaniel values curiosity in his work – helping clients discover new parts of themselves and reminding them of parts that have been forgotten. He strives to cultivate a space that allows clients to compassionately examine their lives, identify where they’d like to make changes, and process the many thoughts and emotions that arise every day. He believes that therapy can (and should) look at all aspects of our lives, not just the negative: the pain and the joy, the heartbreak and the humor. We contain all these beautiful dualities, and therapy can be a place to process them.

Prior to becoming a therapist, Nathaniel worked as a book editor in the publishing industry, where he focused on storytelling: understanding how characters’ lives are shaped and grown, how their pasts influenced their present, and what makes them so delightfully, imperfectly human. In transitioning to clinical work, he brings this editorial sensibility, understanding that we are all building a story for ourselves, and using narrative techniques to reframe these stories for healing. As a queer, Jewish clinician, Nathaniel understands the importance of culture and identity, and how these components shape our worldviews and perspectives.
