You don't have to hold it alone. I am here to support you.
For over 15 years, I have supported individuals and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, and life transitions in both clinic and private practice settings in New York and California. I am deeply committed to creating a space where you can feel safe, and be fully yourself. I work especially well with women and those with complex trauma, including attachment trauma; those who identify as highly sensitive, neurodivergent, and creative, whose patterns show up in their friendships and closest relationships. Often, these patterns are rooted in early attachment experiences that shaped the nervous system.
My approach is somatic, holistic and grounded in the body. Emotional pain is not just a thought pattern; it is something the nervous system carries. Together, we slow down and gently build safety, allowing protective patterns to soften and new experiences of steadiness to emerge.
I specialize in complex and developmental trauma with a focus on healing attachment, integrating EMDR, IFS, DBT, and Trauma-Informed CBT. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy in partnership with Journey Clinical. This work is about strengthening your inner steadiness — so love feels less anxious, boundaries clearer, and your life aligned with who you are.
