Life is crazy right now. And it’s still important (maybe even more important) to take care of yourself. I’m here to help you do that. Even in the most stressful and unknown of circumstances. (hello, "post" pandemic-life, looking at YOU!). Let’s figure out how to build resilience and thrive… Give no fucks (at least about the things that don’t really matter). And find a healthy, happy balance in your life. Even when everything feels like it’s falling apart... I help stressed & overwhelmed New Yorkers find space, clarity & calm in this crazy world. Anxiety & depression can make you feel stuck, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed.

Sometimes what we're struggling with and going through doesn’t fit into words and because of this it has the upper hand. In depth psychology this kind of experience is connected to the Unconscious, that which escapes understanding and remains unknowable, yet we still physically and emotionally feel it. These kinds of experiences led me to my doctoral studies and research. I learned to identify and understand these experiences in relation to what Carl Jung called the archetypes, the transformational and guiding energy of the psyche. The archetypes, although invisible processes within us, are made visible in our dreams.

Beginning therapy can be scary and is a bold step toward making proactive changes in your life. I provide a warm and relaxed atmosphere to explore your emotional life in a safe and supportive space. Aware of the importance of the body, I experience you as a whole person: your words, life themes, affect, posture, and your presence. By experiencing you in your wholeness, I can contextualize what can feel confusing or fragmentary. I can share what I see and understand, helping you raise your self-awareness. This process can harmonize your thoughts and emotions. Insight alone often is not sufficient for healing.

You worry all the time about being judged by other people. You feel disconnected from your body and, at the same time, feel like it’s all you think about. You question what you say, how your body looks, if you’re doing things “right,” and there are so many times where your mind feels like it’s on a hamster wheel that you can’t stop. You feel on edge all day and sometimes even feel like you may be having a heart attack. You don’t feel like you fit in anywhere. You’ve been made fun of before for so many different parts of who you are. You’ve been called weird or have been misunderstood at work, in your family, and even in some of your dating relationships. You’ve struggled to find someone who feels like a good fit romantically, and you’re worried there’s something wrong with you. You want to feel more connected to yourself again…

Pain seeks our attention. Emotional distress manifests or "speaks" through physical distress. Adults living with physical or emotional pain can benefit from BODY-CENTERED psychotherapy. Sessions can include BODYWORK. Dreamwork and expressive therapies can also be utilized to amplify awareness. Like dreams, body symptoms are dynamic conduits into the unconscious; likewise, they serve as messengers charged with waking us up and redirecting our energies back toward life. Clients become adept explorers, listeners & learners, moving with curiosity toward rather than away from feeling, as they befriend disenfranchised parts of themselves.

Adults, Teens, and Children in need of counseling benefit from Creative Arts Therapy, as do families, and couples. I offer the optional use of Creative Arts to help clients gain a much needed perspective to assist them in their healing. Words, alone, cannot fully express your feelings. The creative arts can provide a potent "language" for expression and requires no previous art making experience. Paint, college, clay, mask-making, and creative writing help clients express, understand, and transform their feelings into allies for healing. Art Therapy has been designated as a mind-body approach by the National Institute of Health.
