I offer telehealth to clients throughout New York State and in-person Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for deeper work.
Waitlisting except for new Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy clients. I'm a master therapist and EMDRIA-approved therapist specializing in KAP, complex trauma, and attachment wounds. KAP uses expanded states of awareness for deep healing, emotional release, and integration — helping clients see how trauma, conditioning, and dissociative survival patterns have shaped disconnection from their true nature. I guide people back to who they are at their core: awake, kind, and free. My work draws from EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, Buddhist psychology, ACT, and contemplative practice. I also train therapists in these integrative models.

Stress. It leaves us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from our bodies, and unsure of how to move forward. Maybe you’re holding everything together because others depend on you, or you appear to be thriving, but your body is telling a different story. Stress doesn’t always look the same. It can show up as anger, frustration, worry, or perfectionism. Other times, it takes a physical toll, exacerbating aches and pains and leading to new physical diagnoses. It can also lead to unhealthy coping, like alcohol use. Pair any of these issues with parenting duties, relationship challenges, or work, and it starts to take over.

If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions.

If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.

I personally don't believe there is an "ideal" client. My "ideal" client is any amazing person who had the courage to walk through the doors, share their story, and work collaboratively to find healing and happiness. That is the ideal client in my humble opinion!

Finding the right therapist is like finding the perfect pair of jeans. Uncomfortable process, but when it fits, everything works better. For over 18 years, I've helped people who are smart enough to know something needs to change but busy enough to have put it off. Maybe you're a parent watching your teenager become a stranger. Maybe you've always felt like you're running a different operating system than everyone else. Maybe you've been carrying something too long. I work with adolescents, adults, and the parents caught in between. I'm LGBTQ+-affirming, not as a checkbox, but as someone who actually gets it.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
