Great to meet you!

Healing from trauma requires more than insight; it requires safety, precision, and a therapist who understands how to work with both the mind and the nervous system. I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma, including work within large behavioral health systems in New York. Many clients seek me out when they are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet continue to feel shaped by past experiences that have not fully resolved. I offer a steady, grounded, and deeply attuned presence, with strong emphasis on creating the conditions for safety, trust, and meaningful transformation.

My approach to therapy

My work is trauma-informed, integrative, and experiential. I draw primarily from EMDR, somatic therapy, and depth-oriented talk therapy to help clients process experiences that remain active in the nervous system.

Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, I help clients gently resolve the underlying patterns that drive emotional distress. Therapy is collaborative and intentional, balancing careful pacing with focused, evidence-based methods that support lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Healing from trauma requires more than insight; it requires precise, evidence-based work with the nervous system. I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in the treatment of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and complex trauma, using EMDR as a core approach to help resolve symptoms that persist despite effort and understanding. EMDR is a proven, effective therapy that allows distressing experiences to be processed rather than repeatedly re-lived. I offer a steady, grounded, and deeply attuned presence, creating the conditions for safety, trust, and lasting change.
