Are you feeling disconnected and distracted by a nagging inner critic? Perhaps you have had difficult experiences that you now carry alone. As a therapist and fellow human, I believe in your capacity to heal, reconnect with yourself and others, and live more expansively and fully. Sometimes, we just need some support to begin. I'm warm, attentive, and direct in session. My approach is collaborative, healing-centered, and mindful of how systems and histories shape the way we relate to and interact with the world.

As a trauma-informed art therapist, I use art as a "power tool" to help clients, in all life-stages, work through creative blocks, fears, addictions, loss and whatever prevents you from living your most fulfilling life. Art is a "whole brain activity", giving us immediate access to self-regulation, attunement, intuitive wisdom and new perspectives. No art experience is needed and the process is equally effective online, using simple art materials from home. My integrated and collaborative approach to art therapy begins with listening deeply to understand and connect with clients and providing a safe and non-judgmental environment.

In a sense, all therapy -- even individual therapy -- is family therapy. We carry the voices, the gazes, the expectations, the approvals and disapprovals, the deep connections to those we first knew within us throughout our lives. Therapy can help to uncover and clarify these links and engender a better understanding of our own motivations, leaving us freer to make effective decisions in our daily lives.
I view therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and patient, and I believe much of the work is accomplished through that relationship itself.

As a dance therapist, I work with those who are seeking another way to express themselves.Whether it is through movement exploration or talking, I provide a space to work through life's challenges, offering you the opportunity to enhance your self-esteem, self-worth, and intuition.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and reaching out is often the hardest first step. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward meaningful change.

When someone asks how you are, the words 'exhausted' or 'so busy' come to mind. Trying to be all things to all people is wreaking havoc on you. But you don't answer; you can't wait to change the subject & focus on something or someone else. It's a welcome distraction to focus on other people who come to you with their problems; besides, you like to help, it makes you feel good. But you have worries, too. Good sleep is a luxury these days. Anxiety is no longer fuel for your never-ending to-do list; it's now getting in the way & sucking the fun out of everything. You're ready to stop pretending it's not wearing you out. I can help.

I have always felt drawn to understanding people’s inner worlds and creating spaces where others can feel seen, supported, and less alone. You may be navigating a recent stressor, grief, or complex relationships, or want to address trauma or long-standing patterns. Therapy offers an opportunity to gain a clearer sense of self. In our work, we’ll explore what’s impacting your current mood, how past experiences may still be showing up in your body and nervous system, and how to create meaningful change. I welcome clients of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I'm licensed in NY, NJ & CA

Do you often feel stuck in the same patterns, whether in relationships, friendships, or your professional life, even though you can clearly see how they affect you? Many of the people I work with have a growing awareness that something is not working, but struggle to understand why these patterns persist or how to change them. As a psychodynamic psychologist, I help you trace these patterns back to their origins and develop a more integrated and compassionate understanding of yourself, creating a foundation for meaningful, lasting change.

If you’re here, something might be off. Maybe it’s stress or anxiety that won’t go away. Maybe it’s relationship or family conflict, work pressure, or feeling stuck in a place you can’t name.
