About
I’m a NYC based psychotherapist, with over 15 years of experience. My goal is to foster a caring and attuned relationship that creates a sense of safety with clients. I help people through life transitions and challenges, which can often overwhelm and disconnect us from ourselves and those around us. I work with people who are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I also assist parents in navigating the challenges of parent- child relationships, and improving communication.
In addition to this, I help people heal from traumatic experiences, including childhood trauma. I’m passionate about integrating psychodynamic therapy with modalities like Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help people process these painful experiences. These models are widely researched and effectively utilize a mind-body approach to process trauma in a manageable way, increase resiliency, reduce feelings of overwhelm and unlock peoples’ innate capacity to heal.
I have training in MDMA-Assisted Therapy and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, including psilocybin and ketamine. While these medicines have great potential to help heal, psychedelic experiences can often feel challenging, or unlock previous traumas. I’m available to help people process their psychedelic experiences. While MDMA-Assisted Therapy is not yet FDA approved, I will offer this treatment upon legalization.
