I am trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy ( AEDP) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), two powerful forms of psychotherapy designed to promote connection, healing and growth.
Are you living the life you want? Is your relationship a source of pain for you? Are you arguing more, trusting less, or finding yourself not looking forward to spending time together? Maybe your relationship feels stuck, like you're just replaying the same disagreement over and over again. Do you not like the person you are when you're in a relationship or wonder why you keep repeating patterns in the type of person you date? Human beings are wired for connection, yet somehow the people we are closest with also seem to cause us the most pain.

I incorporate elements of DBT, AEDP and family systems therapies, as well as mindfulness and attention to the mind-body connection.
Perhaps, the secret to navigating life is understanding, and accepting, that life is inherently difficult. Even so, navigating those difficulties is not always so simple. As a socially conscious and strength-based clinician, I believe therapy is best approached collaboratively, looking at personal experience within cultural context. We each hold strength and wisdom to find our way through difficult and even traumatic experiences, especially with the healing power of relationship as support. Therapy can be a wonderful place to work towards deeper self understanding that translates into greater fulfillment within our lives.

My approach is grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy ( AEDP), a model that helps uncover and transform deeply held emotions, memories, and experiences that may feel hard to face.
Depression, anxiety, job stress, health concerns, and relationship challenges can feel overwhelming—especially when the underlying causes are unclear, making it difficult to know how to move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where growth and change can take root. Our work together will be tailored to your unique needs and challenges, helping you gain deeper insight and clarity about yourself. Through this process, you will develop the tools to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs with greater resilience and confidence.

I utilize an integration of AEDP, DDP, psychodynamics, trauma focused CBT/DBT, family-systems, attachment-based family therapy, somatic, and parent coaching.
My passion is helping people reach their own goals as they navigate life’s many transitions and to foster new ways of approaching, understanding and responding even in the hard times. We can grow a great deal in the midst of change and challenge. We all deserve support in life’s complex moments, whether that be starting high school, retiring, becoming a new parent, getting married, changing jobs, having to or getting to do IVF, or heading off to college. My goal is to support meaningful shift through slowing down and taking a deeper dive to increase self-awareness, self-compassion and growth.

Through a warm and collaborative approach, I integrate AEDP, IFS, somatic practices, narrative therapy, and attachment work to support emotional regulation and self-trust.
You’re a first-generation entrepreneur, professional, or creative living in New York, balancing personal ambition with family expectations. You may feel stuck navigating a career pivot, relationship stress, identity conflict, or burnout. You’re looking for clarity and emotional ease, and want to feel more grounded in who you are, without having to choose between where you come from and where you’re headed.

I have been trained in many modalities that offer various benefits, depending on your needs and preferences (EMDR, AEDP, Sensorimotor, Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic, Somatic).
I work relationally, somatically, and with psychodynamic/psychoanalytic understanding. I view the experiences which lead you to seek counseling, and the therapeutic relationship, within the larger social context, and understand this context through a lens of intersectionality. I believe we all have an innate capacity for healing and regeneration.

I am trained in AEDP, Core Self Reclamation Therapy/Fierce Love with a psychodynamic/relational background which I believe paves the way for long term personal growth, success and healing.
My experience with weight loss surgery, and long term weight loss maintenance, is one of my areas of expertise. I understand the courage it takes to consider, and undergo, WLS but it is a tool for weight loss and not a cure! Psychotherapy in tandem with behavioral therapy can help you achieve your long term weight loss goals.

Poet Rupi Kaur wrote: “What we lived through is living in us,” and indeed, our bodies, hearts, and minds hold the cumulative impact of being human. This makes having a treasure chest of affirming strategies to process and digest the residual build up of life’s hurts, anxieties, and disappointments invaluable. This is where my work begins.

My approach draws on AEDP and EMDR, both of which privilege safety as a space within which to work with emotional experience, heal trauma, and create change for the better.
At times in our lives we are faced with transitions, experiences, or emotions that can feel destabilizing or challenge our familiar ways of coping. Present day stressors may lead to anxiety or depression, or connect with unresolved trauma from the past. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship with clients provides the safety and connection that is key for therapy to be helpful. It is a foundation from which to explore and understand your feelings and experiences. I am active and collaborative in listening, inquiring, and guiding.

I specialize in powerful somatic and experiential methods ( AEDP and parts work) to move beyond talk therapy to access emotional clarity, inner alignment, and deeper connection in your relationships and daily life.
You can be self-aware and successful in many ways — and yet something still feels stuck. Maybe it's a loop of overthinking, reactivity, or you're noticing familiar patterns in relationships that leave you feeling disconnected or dissatisfied. Even if you’ve done therapy before, you may feel like insight alone isn't moving the needle. I've dedicated myself to helping adults who are ready to do the deep, transformative act of self-change.

Emotions show us how we’re impacted—and processing them to completion is how we heal. Many of us live in our heads, trying to think our way through pain, but that kind of mental analysis can be exhausting. I strive to create a space where you can fully experience your emotions without overwhelm.

I specialize in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. This may be due to early life trauma, current relationship conflicts or an inability to feel fulfilled in their careers. When we recognize and access our resilience, we are able to experience growth and create positive changes in our lives. This journey is not always easy, but much can be accomplished when the client feels supported and the process is collaborative. My clients and I know we are on the right track when they recognize improvement in their mood, interpersonal relationships or achieve their career goals.

Some of the somatic modalities include Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, EMDR for processing trauma, AEDP to privelige peoples strengths and capacities.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and it’s natural to have mixed feelings about it. It’s human to feel stressed, anxious, shut-down, or disconnected. Many of us find ourselves stuck in patterns that leave us feeling frustrated, hopeless, or unsure of how to move forward. Through this meaningful and relational therapy you will embrace new ways of being with yourself and put faith in self-kindness to achieve what you’re looking for.

Utilizing principles from AEDP, yoga, current research on neurobiology and the science of emotions, I help people to work through these emotions.
I believe that each of us has the potential to experience wholeness. Many of us, early on, were forced to exile parts of ourselves, leaving us feeling constricted, fragmented, less than whole. One element of my work is helping people reclaim these lost aspects of self. Using an experiential psychodynamic approach I help people to deal with problematic issues from their current lives as well as to process difficult experiences from their past.
