As a relational, trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR and AEDP, I wholeheartedly believe that seeking support is an act of self-love.
There is so much more to life than just feeling fine, and as a therapist, I deeply believe in this. Every concern, whether big or small, is valid and deserving of attention; it's not about overreacting, but rather about respecting your wants and needs. It's completely okay to feel overwhelmed or drained by life's hurdles and to seek a momentary break to prioritize self-care. It's during these moments that we often unearth our resilience, uncover strengths, and foster personal growth.

I am training in AEDP (an experiential, somatic approach) , and am also credentialed by PSI in perinatal mental health (working with folks who in all stages from pregnancy to post-partum).
Our connections to others help to define who we are and sometimes, despite our best efforts, our relationships can cause significant anxiety and stress. I have over 15 years of experience helping people navigate their relationships. I love to work with people struggling around decisions around intimacy and commitment, new parents struggling with demands of life with a baby, and with anyone suffering from social anxiety or loneliness and wanting to feel more connected to others. I enjoy working with all genders and with people from a variety of backgrounds.

Therapy is a place to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and begin the work of generating positive and lasting change. My primary goal is to provide a nurturing therapeutic environment, free of judgment and rooted in empathy, where you feel heard and empowered. It is my firm belief that listening intently and with compassion, in a safe therapeutic setting, can help you navigate significant challenges in your relationships with others and with yourself. I’ve worked with clients facing profound life stressors, including death of family members, separation, divorce, job loss, and medical illness.

Licensed in NY & NJ.
Some clients come to therapy with specific goals for behavior change, perhaps in their relationship with food or substances. Others come to therapy looking to shift the way they talk to themselves or others. And still some come to therapy looking to experience reflection, validation, and compassion in a safe relationship, perhaps for the first time. I will help you identify your goals, meet you where you are, and move at your pace. I use a relational approach, which essentially means I believe the therapeutic relationship is many times the crux of healing. I also call upon skills-based therapy as needed.

Do you feel constantly anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in the same patterns you can’t seem to change? Do you consider yourself high-functioning and self aware, yet still feel unsettled underneath it all? I work with women who are ready to heal from trauma and the ways it shows up in daily life: through anxiety, relationship struggles, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Trauma doesn’t always come from one defining event; it can stem from relationships, attachment wounds, chronic stress, family dynamics, or years of having to hold it all together.

I work with thoughtful, insight-oriented adults—often BIPOC, LGBTQ+, first-generation/second-generation immigrants—who feel stuck in patterns they understand but can’t seem to shift. Many have tried therapy before and are looking for something that goes deeper. They may be navigating identity, trauma, or the tension between cultural expectations and their own desires, and want work that is both grounding and meaningful.

Reaching out for help is the first therapeutic act. It takes courage, vulnerability and trust. Successful therapy is dependent on trust and vulnerability and at the core of this is feeling understood and accepted. In our first session I will give you a picture of what to expect from our work together and provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can talk about what you are currently struggling with. As your therapist, my job is to offer you my mind, my attention, my empathy and my honesty in service of your growth and development.

The relationship you have with yourself is often the first thing to break down under pressure, and the most difficult to rebuild alone. Maybe you are moving through a painful life transition, living with chronic pain or a serious diagnosis, healing from trauma or intimate partner violence, or struggling in your relationship with food and your body. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to keep carrying it by yourself. I provide a holistic, nonjudgmental space where dive beneath the surface, and actually stay there long enough to heal.

My work is trauma- informed, systems aware, and relational, drawing from EMDR, somatic practices, DBT, IFS, TF-CBT, AEDP, and mindfulness.
I support adults navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. Many of the people I work with are already insightful and self-aware, but still feel stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn’t been able to shift, often feeling disconnected from themselves and overwhelmed. I focus less on labels and more on you: your experiences, patterns, and the systems you move through. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or overly clinical; sessions with me feel like real conversations, where I bring curiosity, support, and practical tools.

AEDP Therapists
Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioral avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behavior play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
