I help clients reconnect with joy, pleasure, belonging, purpose, dignity, and lineage. My therapy practice is dedicated to supporting you in making sense of this life, integrating painful past experiences, and orienting towards a future full of all of the beautiful things life has to offer. I enjoy working with activists, organizers and change makers. I am queer, nonbinary, and mixed race, and I particularly enjoy supporting clients who are seeking an understanding space to explore their social identities and the unique opportunities and challenges that they offer.

Therapy with me is approachable, constructive, and engaging. Clients in NY, CT, OR, and MA seek my care to overcome anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship issues, as well as major life transitions (i.e., loss, parenthood, divorce). I work collaboratively to identify and address cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns that have proven too difficult to overcome alone. I offer therapy to NY residents who carry Aetna.

The human condition is stressful for everyone right now. Healthcare providers, LGBTQ2SIA + and those with chronic pain/medical illness are feeling it more than ever. Depression, anxiety and trauma responses can be overlooked/minimized. What you are experiencing is real and you deserve the time, space and support to explore this. Are your thoughts, feelings and behaviors getting in the way of your relationships/work/goals/well-being? Are you taking better care of others than you are of yourself? Is it time to move beyond surviving and begin thriving? If so, perhaps it's time to reach out for a helping hand. All are welcome here.

I am here to help my clients figure out how to build safety and security back into their lives after living through traumatic experiences. In my perspective, we are all living with trauma and this world was not built for us to heal from it. This makes it one of the most challenging things to be actively working towards healing from trauma and living your life within the confines of our systems. It is my goal to create a space where healing is not just possible, but probable. I am here to help people figure out how to create the life they want; together we will chart a course that feels nurturing, safe, and realistic.

*Accepting New Clients* I help my clients recognize and work through their traumas, patterns, and blocks. They learn that deep within there is a truth that is yearning for recognition. At some level they are aware that this truth maps the path and purpose of their lives. We'll work together to find new paths of success and personal power. I reflect to them the wisdom and talents they hold within so that they may begin to own that identity and build confidence in becoming who they really are. I work from a framework that is Archetypal, Jungian, Somatic, Shamanic, Transpersonal, Holistic, Spiritual, and Vibrational/Energetic.

My journey to becoming a therapist has been deeply shaped by my own transformative experiences as a client. With an M.D. and engineering degree, I navigated various careers while battling worsening anxiety and depression until a wise counselor helped me understand the impact of my childhood traumas, accept my true feelings and needs, and stop living for others. Since then, as a therapist, I have had the privilege to offer the same support and guidance to others, helping them discover and embrace their true selves, break free and heal from trauma, and experience a life that is no longer about surviving but living authentically.

Growth and change can often present difficult challenges and I encourage clients to discover and embolden their own inner resources, self-compassion and curiosity. All people deserve the chance to live a life driven by meaning, value and connection. The form of counseling that I take part in focuses on internal and relational growth, and empowerment. I specialize in working with women identifying people who are looking for greater embodiment, vitality and wholeness in their lives. Creating the felt sense of feeling fully alive can sometimes mean saying “yes” to the hard parts, the avoidant parts of ourselves that we keep hidden.
