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. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with modalities like Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR 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 and increase resiliency.

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.
