My specialties are in treating trauma, anxiety, fear, depression, unresolved parent- child relationships, infertility, post pardum depression and anxiety, and couples/family therapy using a mind body integrative approach.
I am a LMFT and Somatic Experiencing practitioner with over 20 years experience working with adults, families, and adolescents. Using a combination of Somatic Experiencing, Psychodynamic and Relational Therapy, I focus on helping you to become more self-aware in both mind and body, in order to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms you might be feeling. We will address areas you may be feeling stuck, discover underlying causes, and learn ways to relieve these symptoms from the body and better manage the thoughts in our mind. Clients have told me, "You've taught me a more patient way of thinking."

I have experience supporting adults, couples, adolescents, and children, as well as adults in group therapy addressing such issues as trauma, self-worth, relationships, phase of life transitions, self esteem, substance use, mood disorders, and personality disorders.
The relationship between client and therapist is essential for meaningful work to take place. To honor your process, I will approach our discussions with warmth, empathy, sometimes humor, and realness, all with the intent to challenge you as we create the space to face your experience of the world. My therapeutic approach is integrative and relational, rooted in the idea that our past experiences influence our reflexive responses to the world around us as we continue to grow. In our work we will focus on the present and past to discover and adapt what hasn’t historically worked, as you navigate relationships, stressors, and change.

Life is filled with inevitable change–some of which is more manageable than others. Youth, especially, undergo rapid transitions – in the development of the mind and body, within relationships, and with their emotions, identity, attitudes, and beliefs. Navigating these transitions on their own can be overwhelming, leading to incongruent living and problematic behaviors including withdrawing from peers or family, exhibiting defiance, or struggling at school. Children and adolescents also struggle with self-confidence leading to excessive worrying about the opinions of others, increased dysregulation, and a lack of calm and composure.

Therapy is most effective when it is customized to meet the needs of the individual and incorporates flexibility, authenticity, and a touch of humor. This occurs within a therapeutic relationship where there is trust, openness, and warmth. I believe in the inherent resilience of people and view therapy as an opportunity to build on the strengths we naturally posses. My therapeutic style is supportive, engaged, and collaborative. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. I am licensed in New York and California.

The first steps to beginning therapy can seem hard. I want you to have hope, that If you are feeling stuck in unhealthy feelings or thoughts or needing support through stressful life events, there are effective holistic strategies for finding relief and bringing you back into balance. Trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, grieving are all experiences of the body as much as the mind, and effective therapy should integrate both. Through a compassionate, accepting relationship and an innovative somatic approach, I have found success in guiding clients to find relief of their symptoms and struggles in their body, mind, and hearts.

My clients typically find me when they're feeling stuck in life. When they're struggling with self-doubts, insecurities, relational issues, marriage problems, anxiety, depression, fears, job issues, family difficulties, or they're having a spiritual life crisis. They know there's more to life, and they long to feel more free and joyful, but they simply can't figure out how to get there. That's where our work comes in.

Scanning through this website trying to discern which therapist will be a good fit from a photograph and a blurb is tricky and also a sign of the times. Ideally less time is spent searching the web for answers and more can be spent with a person whose sole intention is to understand the complexities of your point of view, your experiences and facilitate you getting to where you want to go, while walking right along side you. Depression, anxiety, trauma, distorted relationship with food, difficulty being productive; these are all areas I feel confident I can help you with.
