Trauma and PTSD Therapists in New York, NY
I am a clinical psychologist, working remotely in New York, with over a decade of experience seeing adults in individual and couple’s therapy. Psychotherapy is most effective when the relationship between therapist and patient is trusting and secure. With this in mind, I am very much myself in the room—curious, warm, with a sense of humor, meeting my patients where they are—as we work together to bring about lasting and meaningful change.
Areas of clinical focus in my practice are depression and anxiety; relationship conflict; periods of transition; fertility challenges and pregnancy loss; and the impacts of traumatic experiences.

I am a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist and have worked with adults and children for 18 years around issues that include PTSD, trauma, relationship problems, employment concerns, parenting questions, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety.
I work with people impacted by trauma and loss, including people affected by 9/11, victims of partner abuse and sexual abuse. I work with children around bereavement, separation from a parent, and behavior problems. I worked extensively with the FDNY workforce and 9/11 family members, and with veterans around trauma and transition issues.

I draw from proven methods like ACT, CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, IFS, Attachment Theory, and trauma informed care, tailored to your needs.
Therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen and understood. Many people find that traditional talk therapy stays at the surface, focused on venting rather than real change. But lasting growth comes from exploring the deeper patterns behind your emotions and behaviors. These often stem from past experiences and shape how you see yourself and relate to others. In our sessions, I create a safe, collaborative space to uncover and work through what’s holding you back so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.

Trauma has a way of keeping us stuck not because we lack insight, but because insight alone doesn't change behavior.

I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help you move from awareness into real change, along with preparation and integration support for those exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness.

I offer trauma-informed therapy for neurodivergent, queer and trans people, with an additional focus on supporting men - both within and outside the LGBTQIA+ community.
For patients whose struggles feel deeply entrenched and require a careful building of trust, change is felt, lived, and integrated over time, not just talked about. I prioritize thoughtful challenge and depth-oriented thinking over life hacks or therapy trends. When appropriate, I integrate EMDR and somatic approaches within a modern psychoanalytic frame.

Therapy can be challenging - it takes courage to look directly at parts of ourselves that we feel ashamed of. Going through this process with someone who gets you can be transformative. I'm deeply curious about how you see the world and work to create an environment where you can be, too. Maybe you have learned to cope with feelings in ways that are hurting you or your relationships. Maybe you're struggling with a tendency to isolate or hurt yourself, with self-hatred, with long-term patterns that you feel hopeless about. Every person has a unique ability to change & grow. The goal of therapy is to remove obstacles to your growth.

Using EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, and attachment-based approaches, I help women heal trauma, anxiety, and body image concerns by working with both the mind and nervous system.
You might be here because your inner critic feels impossible to quiet, replaying conversations, comparing yourself to others, overthinking decisions, or picking apart your body. A self-critical voice shows up and feels completely real, even when another part of you knows it isn't the full truth. You may understand these patterns logically, yet still feel trapped by them emotionally.
Knowing why you struggle isn't always enough to help you feel differently. Many women come to me because they're looking for therapy that helps them understand why these patterns developed and how to finally shift them.
