Sometimes life's challenges, transitions, or conditions are more than we can handle. Feelings of sadness or fear overwhelm. We realize that the way we are living is not how we want to live but are unable to make changes on our own. Unhealthy relationships, dealing with disappointment or loss, feeling alone, or struggling with an inner critic, are a few examples of what leads people to reach out to me. In my practice I largely employ the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as my framework but also draw techniques from CBT, EMDR, DBT, mindfulness,
somatic
experiencing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, when needed.

My
somatic
psychotherapy background has given me skills to help people manage anxiety, depression and stress.
As an integrative psychotherapist who incorporates a range of psychodynamic and mind/body modalities and techniques, I work with individuals and couples. My passion to provide the best treatment I can is informed by ongoing learning and integration of the latest research. Following 4 years of relational psychoanalytic training, I started years of intensive study of trauma, EMDR, mindfulness, and
Somatic
Psychotherapy. Additionally, I have a speciality in couples counseling and trained in the Gottman Method and Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I consider myself an EFT therapist.

I help clients to develop curiosity and compassion about their inner lives and desires, guiding them towards healing, pleasure, and joy. I approach therapy as a collaboration in which we get to know your inner world together. I help you to uncover the psychological,
somatic
, and sensory experiences that have shaped how you approach the world, providing opportunities for freedom, choice, and transformation. In both individual and couples therapy, I use mindfulness and embodiment to help you build awareness of your own wants, needs, emotions, and desires, creating a foundation for clear communication, intimacy, and understanding.

I am trained in
Somatic
Experiencing (Trauma Healing technique) which integrates mindfullness, gentle pacing and natural ability to heal with the belief that 'the body remembers.
I strongly believe in the power of human connection and in being present for my clients. In a non-judgemental supportive environment, I can help my clients find their own strength and ability to identify the best way for a more fulfilling life and/or resolve challenging life situations. I believe it is the trusting therapeutic rapport along with my active participation that makes my clients feel safe to evaluate their own quality of life and move forward to a more positive fulfilling place in their lives.

I am a Gestalt therapist with training in
somatic
psychotherapy, mindfulness and meditation.
I help adoptees, people living with trauma and people suffering with anxiety and panic move towards the life and relationships they want. I work with issues of identity, connection, belonging, and how trauma is held in the body, the way the body keeps the score. My goal is to help you find both symptom relief and deeper change. I also work with my associate Asha Kadir who works with all kinds of mental health issues, and particularly loves working with young adults, international students, immigrants and refugees. Intersectionality is important in our practice.

I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and in
Somatic
Experiencing, which is a body-based trauma therapy.
My practice centers on helping people live everyday more fully. Daily pressures to manage work, relationships, and ourselves often leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
Some people express these feelings through anxiety or persistent self-critical thoughts. Others may feel discouraged, guilty, ashamed or sad. Many use substances, food, risky behavior or other distractions to momentarily feel better. Psychotherapy can help resolve these issues by creating a space to gain better coping strategies, enhance your focus of your place in the world, and develop greater resiliency.

As a therapist, I integrate traditional therapeutic approaches with
somatic
-based, principles and practices that allow your truest essence to emerge and live a fuller, brighter and more abundant life.
Do you have a feeling that “something” is missing from your life and you can’t quite figure out what it is? Are you moving through each day with ruminating thoughts, fears, and feeling isolated even though you may be surrounded by people? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, there is an emotional block holding you back. The main blocks to living a full life are: fear, anger, grief, and shame. These blocks are unburdened wounds that need to be revealed and shared in order to live more fully. Together, we can chart the roadmap to unburden these wounds and get you on the path that you’ve been waiting for.

As an integrative psychologist, my approach draws upon cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic,
somatic
and holistic modalities.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, trauma and relationship difficulties. I have helped clients get through intense periods of sadness, self-doubt and major life transitions. Therapy has been used to explore and understand feelings particularly as they come up in the moment. It also encourages individuals to reflect on their behaviors, look at how their past influences the way they perceive and experience their lives and make choices that are in line with their needs.

Recently, I have focused on trauma and included body centered modalities:
Somatic
Experiencing and SensoriMotor psychotherapy.
As your therapist, I will treat you with respect and empathy. I am active, supportive and nonjudgmental. People experience me as warm, easy to talk to, and responsive with a good sense of humor. I treat individuals and couples especially those seeking help with overcoming childhood trauma, ACOA, depression, anxiety, low elf esteem, problems related to aging and LGBTQ issues. I enjoy being part of a relationship in which there is growth and healing. I have grown a lot both as patient and therapist. I have also taught at several institutes and offer supervision in relational psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I see psychotherapy as a creative, collaborative and compassionate practice that helps us make meaning of our lives, deepens our self-awareness, and fosters emotional growth and lasting positive change. I strive to create a space of safety and potential where we can work together to help you tell your story in all of its complexity; understand the impact of the past on the present; imagine possible futures; explore dreams, their meanings and messages; to find greater satisfaction, connection and authentic engagement in your everyday life, your work, your creative pursuits, your intimate and family relationships and friendships.

somatic
approaches to help clients achieve their optimum well being.
Recognizing that taking the first steps towards seeking help can be frightening, I bring a warm and compassionate presence to help create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable sharing their concerns. I use a versatile and relational style to ensure clients feel heard, seen and understood. In my therapeutic work, I believe it is important to consider how political influences, societal narratives, intergenerational and genetic predispositions are interwoven to shape one’s emotional being.

As a relational psychoanalyst, trained couples therapist and
Somatic
Experiencing (SE) and EMDR-trained practitioner, I offer a multi-dimensional toolkit to meet the needs of each individual or couple.
I enjoy engaging individuals and couples seeking a supportive, active, direct, honest collaboration. My goal is to both address uncomfortable, painful conflict or struggles and facilitate more enlivened, loving connections to self and others. Individuals come in confronting challenges in love, work, family, health, school, trauma or loss. In couples therapy, I work with partners young and old, seeking early relationship or premarital counseling or bumping up against difficulty with intimacy and/or sex, parenting partnership, betrayal, infertility, remarriage, step-parenting, money or retirement, and/or on the brink of a break-up.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
