Therapy is the process of moving closer to yourself, of building and strengthening your role as your own healer. It is a collaborative process rooted in a trusting, supportive relationship that involves play and celebration as much as it involves discomfort and struggle. I work from a trauma informed, sex positive, and LGBTQ+ affirmative perspective to support the development of a sense of safety in sessions. I am in a frequent state of growth in confronting my own internalized racism and dismantling structures of oppression. My approach is informed by Spiritual Psychology, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION WE ARE OFFERING VIDEO SESSIONS IF NEEDED. I have been coaching clients in the New York area for the past 20 years as they make positive, life-altering changes via individual, couples, family and group counseling. Through carefully guided exploration, my clients uncover behavioral patterns that keep them from the happiness they desire by learning strategies for managing stress, working through loss, creating loving, productive relationships, finding spiritual fulfillment and living more intentional, mindful lives.

As a therapist, I've come to deeply appreciate the inherent messiness and imperfection of being human. We all carry quirks, shadows, inconsistencies - and that's okay. My role is not to judge or fix, but to create a safe space where you can explore all of who you are with acceptance and compassion. I aim to provide a balance of practicality and profundity in my work. On a practical level, I'll share tools, frameworks, and insights from evidence-based modalities to help shine light on core issues. But I also believe therapy should allow for transcendence - those profound "aha" moments where you glimpse a deeper truth about yourself.

It is in my belief that we are all intrinsically whole, deserving and worthy of love and meaningful connections. However, somewhere along the way we have incurred pain and hurtful experiences that have tainted our story and lens of how we see the world and ourselves. Sometimes the narrative runs so deep that we can’t stop the thoughts and feelings that flow continuously. In this way, everyday feels like a struggle. Perhaps you secretly feel lost and lonely or you struggle with feelings of anxiety, insecurity or sadness and are uncertain about how to navigate the complexity of your emotions. Wherever you are - your story matters.

Difficult experiences and painful relationships can affect our connection with our bodies, as well as our identities and sense of self-worth.

I offer a non-judgmental and reflective space to process and explore your past, present, and future, with the goal of helping you identify and work through opportunities for growth and healing. Together we'll embark on a path to help you understand what barriers are present. You will learn to prioritize and trust in yourself, while developing tools to care for your mental health.

You’d been doing so well. Enjoying life, being productive, connecting with family and friends. Then, out of nowhere, it crept back in—that familiar feeling of numb emptiness. You can feel your worldview narrowing and your emotions shutting down, and it scares you. You’ve worked so hard to move past this and truly believed you were getting better. Eating well, exercising, meditating, and sleeping more. And then here comes this reminder that all the self-care in the world isn’t enough to help you move past this. Hopelessness is setting in. You know there must be a better way to live, but you simply don’t know how to achieve it.

We are not made up of one isolated incident, but of many experiences over the course of a lifetime and because of that, one experience informs another. My practice takes a holistic approach in order to validate and support the complex and layered nature of human beings, which includes a strength-based, anti-oppression, and intersectional framework. Together, we can work on processing difficult feelings, remove any barriers to healing, and learn coping strategies that will foster resilience.

With so many responsibilities and commitments, it can be challenging to make time for ourselves to reflect and think about life choices. At times, we may overlook our mental health and how various issues are affecting us. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can take time to learn about yourself.
