My work integrates Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) with psychodynamic, attachment-based and trauma-centered approaches.
We all have the capacity to heal. With the right safety and support, we can come home to ourselves, allow difficult emotions to be released, and re-author old stories to create new meaning in our lives. I use experiential therapy to help you move through barriers so you can arrive into your body with compassion and connection. From this place, we can explore your relationship to self and others, come to understand patterns that create stuckness, and practice new skills so you can embody insights, change and self-belonging.

Do you feel attached to limiting beliefs, anxiety or unsupportive patterns? Do you feel stuck? I believe awareness is at the root of every endeavor, which allows for a deeper understanding of what you need to feel empowered, connected, and safe in your body to lead the life you desire and deserve. I can help you find direction and build a language around your experiences that feels authentic and regulating. I aim to bring an additional level of awareness to integrate the mind and body into the process to help you access the root of your suffering to feel empowered, liberated and embodied.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist primarily practicing EMDR with a focus on trauma/PTSD, severe mental illness and other emotional distress, including experiences related to racial identity and sexual orientation. I'm curious about you; there is no judgment about your past, your perceptions, or your feelings. My foundation is in trauma work & attachment theory, where we look at relationships and experiences and how they may affect you today: the social and cultural settings we're in, how the way we identify ourselves and the way others identify us impacts your sense of safety, how we are perceived, and what opportunities we have.

It can be hard to find a therapist who feels like the right fit, especially when you are grieving, overwhelmed, facing a challenge, or feeling stuck in repetitive patterns. With warmth, patience and authenticity, I work to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your unique experiences and the meanings they hold. I work with adults who feel depressed, anxious, or struggle with significant life transitions, relationships, parenting, trauma, guilt, and shame. I am also passionate about supporting clients through all stages of grief, including anticipatory, ambiguous, and non-death loss.

My practice is dedicated to creating a safe environment in which clients feel understood, respected and challenged. This allows us to dig deeper into what isn’t feeling right inside and to uncover greater capacity to deepen your connection to yourself and others. I use a holistic and experiential approach to therapy based in attachment, psychodynamic and body based practices. I take in the entirety of you, and make meaning of historical wounds that have kept you from living out your desires- a life of more ease. This allows you to take risks, to know what you need, and to find new ways of approaching your experiences and patterns.

Beginning psychotherapy can be a very hopeful but intimidating experience. You may be wondering: What will a therapist make of my story? How is therapy going to really help me feel better? or resolve my problems? My goal is to help you understand what your emotions really are and how they affect your mind, brain and body. We tend to over-focus on our thoughts and tune out emotional experience. What is really healing is to have awareness of both and understand how thoughts and emotions work together to help you feel better or worse depending how you handle them.

I specialize in treating maternal mental health, young children, and women in various life transitions. I believe that providing a safe and flourishing atmosphere for individuals and families to explore and process through their hopes, fears, and past has the potential to provide immense healing. Early parenthood and life transitions often awaken a myriad of emotions from past experiences and future unknowns. This awakening can shape the way in which we and our children experience and react to the world. It takes a village, and therapy can be an important part of our village.

I am passionate about helping you create real change from within so you can experience life, sex, intimacy, and relationships as your heart desires. If you want to feel secure, confident, and satisfied in how you relate to intimacy and your relationships, I help you navigate your traumas, fears, wounds, and conditioning around attachment, love & relationships. I help you take your personal power back, remind you of your own inherent wisdom and truth, and teach you how to release the never-ending "broken" "fix it" cycle of self-improvement and repetitive painful experiences.

Therapy offers profound ways of responding more effectively to life's challenges: understanding and managing mental health symptoms and developing healthier, more adaptive coping strategies when facing problems; tools for resolving difficulties and finding more fulfillment in relationships; the possibility of working through past and present trauma, grief and loss; and the opportunity to recognize how our thoughts, beliefs and behaviors affect our relationships to ourselves and others and how self-awareness creates the possibility of change and new experiences. I work with individual adults and adolescents, as well as couples.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have worked extensively with individual adults, adolescents, and couples in New York City for more than 20 years. I work collaboratively with each of my clients to strike the right balance between providing relief in the short-term from the types of symptoms and difficult circumstances that may have led to an interest in psychotherapy, while also attempting to facilitate an ongoing process that promotes greater self-awareness and an increased sense of self-confidence in defining and achieving a more productive and satisfying life.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your heart and not be afraid of your feelings. Many of us have developed ways of denying, repressing, or avoiding painful feelings, rather than learning to embrace them. In a trusting relationship such as therapy, one can learn to experience feelings more without so much fear, leading to deeper self and other relationships.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
