Brainspotting Therapists in New York, NY
Most of my professional training has been in trauma healing, energy psychology, & dialectical behavior therapy; I'm also a certified brainspotting therapist.
I'm a licensed therapist & coach who has practiced as a licensed clinical social worker for 13+ years. As a therapist, I feel strongly that we heal effectively when treated as a whole person. My work focuses on making the unconscious conscious. The symptoms clients experience are part of a deeper problem, which we will uncover together. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process through which I work with clients to gain a better understanding of how environment, systems, culture, & relationships interact with historical & present thoughts & emotions.

I offer Somatic Therapy with the combined power of Breathwork and Brainspotting.
You’d been doing so well. Enjoying life, being productive, connecting with family and friends. Then, out of nowhere, it crept back in—that familiar feeling of numb emptiness. You can feel your worldview narrowing and your emotions shutting down, and it scares you. You’ve worked so hard to move past this and truly believed you were getting better. Eating well, exercising, meditating, and sleeping more. And then here comes this reminder that all the self-care in the world isn’t enough to help you move past this. Hopelessness is setting in. You know there must be a better way to live, but you simply don’t know how to achieve it.

With a bottom-up approach, I blend trauma-informed care, brainspotting, talk therapy, and somatic techniques to reflect on your beliefs and behaviors.
Your path as women and mothers is distinct and truly deserves care. In these times, it’s clearer than ever how amazing you are and how much you deserve to connect with your power. Society often overlooks your diverse needs, making self-reflection crucial—whether you’re fully embracing motherhood or opting for a different direction. Together, we can dig into this process. You deserve to nurture yourself, especially in difficult moments. To make quality therapy accessible, I offer sessions at $150 as well as sliding scale slots. While it may not be a perfect solution, my aim is to support as many as I can on their important journeys.

I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, however I have found that Brainspotting works better for virtual visits.
You're a guy who thinks a lot. You feel things deeply—even if you don’t always show it. And maybe you’ve been trying to carry it all without much support.

You’re not looking for surface-level advice. You want someone who can help you figure out what’s actually going on—and what to do about it. That’s where I come in.
