AEDP Therapists in New York, NY
I have been in practice 25 years. These days, the modalities that are my center are AEDP ( Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples), both are attachment & bonding based, and rely on feeling experientially & expressing primary emotion. I use EMDR (Flash technique too) and hypnosis as adjunctive therapies when needed, for example when treating trauma. I offer Life Coaching with a focus on personal fulfillment and relationships. I work for healing, and believe our wildest dreams can come true--even some we haven't dare dream yet.

I'm licensed in both NY and NJ and hold additional certifications in several types of trauma-informed therapy (IFS, EMDR, AEDP).

My expertise is in helping you get underneath the familiar loops that hold you back using powerful somatic modalities (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, AEDP) that go beyond traditional talk therapy.
Many of us turn to therapy because we feel lost, frustrated, or exhausted. Maybe we’re tired of swimming against the currents of anxiety or depression, but can’t find our way out. We may put on a happy face, while pushing aside painful emotions. Or we yearn for more meaningful connections, but something we can’t name seems to hold us back. Even when we understand our negative patterns, undoing them can feel intimidating. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and grow. That’s why I'm passionate about helping individuals and couples who are ready to do the deep, meaningful work towards change.

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.

It is a foundation from which to explore and understand your feelings and experiences. I am active and collaborative in listening, inquiring, and guiding.

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.

You might be reading this because you no longer want to be caught in the trap of old patterns that no longer serve you. Whether that’s seeking approval from others or distracting yourself with mindless scrolling to avoid what's bothering you, we sometimes arrive at a moment when hiding isn’t worth it anymore. Perhaps you have reached your capacity, exhausted from pretending everything is fine while feeling like something’s missing inside. Whether it’s a moment of transition or facing something from your past— you don’t have to go through it alone.
