Preferred contact method is email, please check your junk for my reply! I feel so fortunate to have found a career that I love, and cherish! My practice came about in the form of an epiphany one day, as I sat on the AIDS unit in NYC as a volunteer. As I listened to a man share his story, I realized that he had not been celebrated for his many talents, but had been ostracized for having AIDS. I decided that my philosophy was going to be-"our differences are what make us beautiful, we should all be celebrated for our uniqueness." This is the philosophy I live by daily.

Let's face it, life is hard, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. I noticed that most people just live their lives on a day-by-day basis and struggle with finding true meaning in their lives. This may be due to the internal struggles that we all face such as anxiety, depression, grief, fear, anger, and so many other issues. We may try to deal with our issues on our own, and sometimes this works for many of us. Yet, there are some issues that may seem tougher than others, which can weigh on our moods and negatively impact our relationships with others and ourselves. Seeking help is easier said than done for most.

Do you spend a lot of time feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? Or perhaps you feel bored, numb, or disconnected, and confused about why? I specialize in trauma treatment - whether complex/developmental or acute - to help relieve the internal suffering which many people self-treat through coping strategies. The modalities I use are possibly very different from other experiences you've had in talk therapy, because there can be much more movement and sensing, and much less talking. Brainspotting is the primary modality I utilize, which is a way of releasing stored traumatic impulses, bringing the mind and body back to homeostasis.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the current state of the world and the endless bombardment of one felt catastrophe after another in addition to all you already do each day? It can be easy to get lost in the monotony of the day to day and lose track of WHO we are. Life can also become overwhelming and even the smallest tasks feel insurmountable. In therapy we take the complexities all around and seek transformation.

My goal as a therapist is to help you create a fulfilling, pleasurable sex and intimate relationship. What that means or how that looks is unique to each individual and couple. Sometimes, other things come up when we're talking about sex too! We each change as we age and grow in relationship or solo. I also hold space for the grief that we each individually or together experience for what we expected sex would look like or how things used to be. I work to improve communication via attachment work and redefine what works for you/the relationship. I bring laughter, safety and nonjudgement to each of my clients in our work together.

Do you feel a persistent sense of unease? Exhausted from the pressures of life? Frustrated with how your past is impacting you? Overwhelmed by the thought of starting therapy? Often our struggles alone feel unbearable, and the idea of addressing them only adds more stress. But you can get to where you'd like to be. It just takes learning to endure the discomfort of the growth and healing process. I am dedicated to helping you walk through the discomfort —to gain self insight, to make changes in your life, to feel more at ease, and attain your goals.
