Many of my clients are adults asking the "who am I" questions. They come to me to explore, express & discover themselves, perhaps for the first time or perhaps as part of a lifelong process. Whether anxiety or depression, a trauma, transition, or relationship trouble, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or simply being new to New York first sent them to me, what they all have in common is a desire to feel more authentic, more connected & more at ease, and to live life with more joy, passion & purpose. I combine talk therapy with somatic therapies to help you reach your goals, embody your true self, and live the life you want to live.
I’m a Psychotherapist of 25+ years, as well as a Yoga Therapist & Movement Therapist, so ALL of you - mind, body & spirit - is honored & engaged in our work together. Our sessions may include somatic or emotionally focused explorations that can bring shifts of perspective, insights, new tools & skills, and can create transformations for greater well-being.
I’m also the owner and director of a small group practice of holistic and integrative psychotherapists who take a variety of insurances and have immediate openings. Virtually or in-person, we provide an affirming space where you feel deeply seen, heard understood, celebrated and cherished. Together, we will create the change you seek.

One treatment type I use which has proven to be extremely transforming is AEDP. AEDP stands for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. It is a strength-based, interpersonal form of therapy that creates a safe space to undo aloneness and help you find your inner healing resources to re-embody your true, best self, and transform suffering into thriving.
