I am a licensed psychotherapist and trauma therapist serving clients in-person in NYC, and virtually in New York State and Connecticut. I work with individuals and couples who want to break cycles of intense emotional reactivity that can include: aggressive acting out (openly or in secret), infidelity, uncontrollable floods of tears or fits of rage, dissociation, or complete shutdowns. I use an eclectic and relational approach where I draw from EFT, IFS, and EMDR. I work well with those who crave authenticity, want to be "called out", and need to be sure they won't be judged.

I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, and phobias. I often support individuals who feel stuck in cycles of rumination and worry, helping them gain greater control over challenging thoughts and emotions. I am trained in ACT, CBT, and ERP modalities.
