Are you carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma that just won’t seem to lift? Healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming — with the right support, it can be transformative. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety and trauma using EMDR, CBT, mindfulness and sound therapy. These are powerful approaches that help clients release trauma, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with peace and clarity. Serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, upstate, all of NY state virtually
My approach is one of compassion and understanding. I use a combination of solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and neurobiological techniques to help you achieve your goals. I have a lot of experience working with people who have anxiety and trauma, but I am happy to work with anyone, regardless of their background or specific issues.
I welcome clients of all races, religions, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, body type, and socioeconomic status. I am here to support you in a non-judgmental and empathetic way.
