Trauma informed psychotherapist in Manhattan, New York City & Cape Cod. Working with adult & adolescent patients since 2020, I am LGBTQ+ allied and offer individual and group therapy to those ready to know themselves in a deeper way. I also have experience working as a Streetwork / Safe Horizon group and individual crisis therapist for teens and young adults living in the New York City shelter system. I specialize in Trauma, Life Transitions, Adoption & Foster Care issues, Women's Issues & Mindfulness.

I often use a variety of methods in my work as different therapeutic approaches resonate with different people. I believe that there can be many doors into the same room. Some of these methods include Psychoanalysis, Gestalt Therapy, dreamwork, and mindfulness practices.

My approach is grounded in a place of non judgement with a focus on the present and what is happening for you in the moment. My style is experiential, engaging and direct. I think therapy is most often a place to unlearn the ways in which we have come to see and limit ourselves. I will accompany you on your therapeutic discovery and provide you the push, support & safety needed to do the work of therapy.

I realize that the ingrained patterns of being with ourselves (and with the world) often come from somewhere important & possibly hard to locate, places within. For therapy to be successful, both therapist and client must commit and involve ourselves in the journey.

Therapy is for everyone. It can be hard to sit with sadness, fear and shame. And it can feel daunting to regroup and reset ourselves when we feel we must try to heal alone. As someone who was totally convinced that I had to do everything alone, my work as a therapist is a testament to my own ongoing unlearning of who I thought I had to be due to my profound childhood trauma.

We can create a new home in ourselves and discover new ways of relating to ourselves and to some degree, the world. We can create our new history in the here and now.

I specialize in: life transitions, trauma, adoption & foster care issues, women's issues and mindfulness based stress reduction. Teens are *especially* welcome!
