Hi there! I’m an LCSW with a fully virtual private practice licensed in NY state. I work with teens and adults struggling with high functioning anxiety and perfectionism. I use CBT, ACT, and Somatic approaches in my work in helping clients manage anxiety, stress, and burnout.

I help people who are struggling with life transitions, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions about identity. I have specialized expertise in helping women and men address the aftereffects of trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depersonalization and dissociation.

I am the founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery which focuses primarily on intimacy and relationships. What I have found is that without a sense of intimacy with oneself, people can’t fully experience intimacy with someone else. Our hearts are fragile, so we develop strategies to keep them safe and avoid getting hurt. Often, these strategies later become maladaptive and hold us back from achieving the connection and intimacy we are actually seeking. The Center for Intimacy Recovery helps clients to find ways to have the intimacy and connection in life that they are seeking. To gain a better understanding around healthy sexuality and treatment for compulsive and destructive sexual behaviors and the trauma created through intimate betrayal, have studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute where I have studied healthy sexuality. I have also studied with the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals where I became a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.

People work with me in therapy when when they want to understand themselves better, express themselves more authentically, build stronger social connections, and get through a big life transition. I have openings for therapy sessions and neurodivergence-affirming autism assessments.

My clinical work is grounded in disability justice & the neurodiversity paradigm. Taken together, these movements teach us that diversity of bodies & brains are essential to the human experience. I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, identity exploration & transitional stress. I have a particular passion for working with performers, including dancers, actors & other creatives, as well as athletes.

I approach therapy from a relational psychodynamic perspective, meaning I help clients understand how past relationships & early experiences shape their current emotional well-being, relationships & sense of self. My commitment to intersectionality, accessibility & autonomy means that I tailor my approach to each individual’s unique identities & desires.

I work with teens and adults to help them understand the impact of past experiences on the present, but also focus on the here and now. I incorporate breathing and meditation practices to cope with everyday stress.

As a psychodynamic, trauma-informed therapist and psychoanalyst, I offer a space to explore relationships and the roles one plays in them, honoring strengths and uncovering the meanings that underlie challenging areas.
