Since 2009, I have worked with college age, new parents, and older adults to confront and manage struggles surrounding depression, anxiety, intense emotions, identity confusion, and trauma. All of our work is approached with the presumption that there is an intelligence within that ultimately knows what is best for you, but this wisdom is often concealed by emotions, disturbing thoughts, toxic relationships, self-defeating behaviors and thought patterns. We work collaboratively using specific techniques when suitable, but we will also engage with dreams & somatic exploration to gain awareness and use of unconscious shadow material.
In addition to years spent treating trauma and mental illness at both Lenox Hill's Outpatient Clinic for Mental Health and Columbia's Day Program in New York, I am trained in trauma-focused therapies including DBT, EMDR, & somatic experiencing. I am currently a member of the New Orleans Jung Seminar and encourage dream analysis to expand self-understanding.
Though your struggles may weigh heavily on you now, the process of confronting powerful emotions and personal obstacles can be enjoyable, inspiring, and empowering. Email me to set up a free phone consultation and you can decide if it feels like the right fit for you. Available for regular appointments from 10am-5pm Monday-Thursday. After 5pm is online only.

I am also skilled at guiding new parents and caregivers, helping them to ease and tolerate tantrums and meltdowns. Your toddler communicates their frustration to you through big emotional expression. If your toddler feels that you receive their communication, their tantrums will naturally decrease.

I work to meet you where you are and let you manage the pace of our work. We work with somatic information and relational triggers that naturally arise in session. Trauma is healed through the natural rupture and repair of healthy relationships. If dreams are available, I will help the patient decipher their dreams so that they can harvest their personal wisdom and insight.

We explore the different parts of the psyche that arise externally in conflict or indecision. Every psyche contains multitudes and we work to understand the complexity of each part in relation to the other parts while developing the observing ego so that it is able to hold the tension of conflicting desires in order to obtain a creative third solution that is born out of the Self.
