About

Hi there! I'm so glad you found me. I am a NYC & Long Island based psychotherapist dedicated to supporting clients through their unique process of healing and growth. I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma & complex trauma, codependency & perfectionism, abandonment, grief, and relationship issues. I am also trained in Jungian Sandplay Therapy (Levels 1 & 2). I believe that by compassionately exploring our past in therapy, we can initiate healing in the present and make lasting changes for the future. I take a holistic, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed approach to care and use a variety of tools including Internal Family Systems (IFS) & parts work, mindfulness, & somatic practices to support healing. Focusing on the mind-body connection and nervous system regulation, I believe feeling safe in our bodies is essential for creating safety around us.
