Join the waitlist! (2-4 weeks wait). Do you appear to have it all together but feel STUCK, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside? Many of my clients are insightful, capable, and successful yet find themselves repeating cycles of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or resentment. Self-awareness alone is often not enough for lasting change. I use Brainspotting, along with other therapies, as a neurobiological approach to process trauma, chronic stress, and difficult life experiences stored in the nervous system. Together we work to regulate, build emotional safety, and move toward a grounded, mindful, and connected life.
Healing begins with understanding your story. Together, we'll explore how past experiences influence your emotions, relationships, and coping. I use neurobiological Brainspotting for trauma and performance issues, somatic IFS for inner conflict and self-understanding, and ACT to support values-based living.
I believe healing is possible. I've witnessed clients move from feeling overwhelmed by trauma triggers, anxiety and depression, to experiencing peace, connection, and confidence. Healing doesn't mean forgetting what happened—it means your mind and body are no longer stuck there. The best way to reach the practice is via email. Licensed in: NY, NJ, TX, FL
