About Me

Maybe you are highy successful at work but you have never felt fulfilled in a romantic relationship. Maybe you see others making friends and wonder why it doesn't work like that for you. Maybe feel like a prisoner to big emotions that you barely understand; or maybe you are numb and unable to determine what you feel or want. You might even know exactly why you ruminate, overreact, or panic--but that knowledge hasn't helped you to change. I can help. I offer in-person EMDR therapy on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York as well as hybrid and online therapy. I specialize in working with survivors of childhood trauma, autistic people who are recently or self diagnosed, first and second generation Americans, and LGBTQ+ people. I have advanced training in sex therapy and in working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I integrate parts work and somatic work with EMDR through the lens of my three year training at the Gestalt Center in Manhattan. In my previous career, I was an anthropology professor and lived and worked abroad for over 5 years in Jordan, Turkey, Taiwan, and the UK.
