You’re here because you want something to shift. Maybe you’ve been in talk therapy for years, but you’re still struggling with the same triggers, the negative self-talk, destructive behavior or relationship conflict. Maybe you’ve gotten used to numbing so you can keep moving through life at a certain speed, but you can feel the toll of past trauma on your body. I’ve spent the last decade studying the top evidence-based trauma modalities because research shows that insight is not always enough. EMDR, IFS and somatic therapy can rewire your brain and make healing possible.
I specialize in treating women with PTSD and complex trauma. I have a post-masters in Trauma Studies from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and also studied Child and Family Therapy at NYU. In my former career as a journalist I held space for hundreds of trauma survivors as they shared their stories with Anderson Cooper and Diane Sawyer.
I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, attachment issues and parenting. I also love doing adjunctive therapy and intensives if you would like me to work alongside your current therapist. I only have daytime spots available at the moment but reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see how I can help!
