Serving NY, FL & MA If you've had trauma in your life, a challenging childhood, find yourself struck with anxiety or depression & feel like you need some support, you've come to the right place. I help to guide adults, couples & adult families with somatic, relational, & mindful strategies to help you get at the root of your issues. Folks that I've helped include filmmakers, artists, actors, CEO's/nonprofit executives, Girlboss millennials, tech founders/entrepreneurs, marginalized millennials, couples from the premarital to longstanding marriage stage & more. I hold an inclusive lens along racial, LBGT+ & open relationship lines.
I'm certified in many specialty, multi-year trauma healing modalities: Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness meditation w/ Drs. Jack Kornfield & Tara Brach, Focusing Oriented Therapy, Indigenous Focusing Oriented Therapy for Complex Trauma, Relational Life Therapy for Couples, Internal Family Systems/Parts work level 1, Brainspotting 1 & 2, & IFIO for couples.
If you've been struggling for a while in talk therapy but feel stuck, you're not alone. Somatic therapy is different. We listen to what your body & nervous system have to say by getting in touch with deeper-rooted "bottom-up" strategies for survival. Once we touch into these wounded places w/ patience & compassion, deep transformation & liberation can begin

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Somatic Experiencing & Internal Family Systems in my practice. We'll explore what brought you to therapy & then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With SE & IFS, we'll look at how parts & your nervous affect your emotions & experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to get curious about your nervous system & your parts to foster insight & change.
