About Me
Insight alone is often not enough. I help adults who understand their patterns but still feel stuck heal from painful experiences, improve their relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
I am an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Trainer and Consultant, Certified EMDR Therapist, and founder of a group practice specializing in complex and developmental trauma. My approach balances empathy with gentle challenge, integrating EMDR, Schema Therapy, IFS-informed approaches, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted EMDR when appropriate.
I provide in-person therapy on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and virtual therapy throughout New York State, alongside EMDR Basic Trainings, consultation, and workshops for clinicians.
