I work with client's in their 20's and 30's struggling with setting boundaries and low self esteem. I also treat anxiety and depression as my speciality.

My goal is to help clients uncover their true potential and lead lives worth celebrating. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology at Elon University and my master's degree in clinical social work at New York University. Additional clinical and training experiences include Mount Sinai Medical Center, Metro Behavioral Health Eating Disorder Centers, and Ackerman Institute for the Family.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping adults break free from long-standing emotional and relational patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, disconnection, or self-doubt. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not just through insight, but through learning how to feel safe, regulated, and connected both within yourself and in relationship with others.

I earned My Master’s degree in Social Work and is clinically trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS – Level 1), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic-Based Practices, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Psychedelics Integration, and Narrative Therapy. I integrate trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approaches to help clients move beyond coping and into meaningful, embodied change. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and direct, supporting clients in developing self-trust while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively in the health and wellness field, including roles in movement, bodywork, and mind-body practices. This background strongly informs my holistic approach to therapy and understanding of how emotional experiences are stored and expressed in the body. I pay close attention to how stress, trauma, and attachment wounds show up not just in thoughts, but in physical sensations, behaviors, and relationship dynamics.

In therapy, I help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen communication skills, and develop the capacity to stay grounded during uncomfortable or vulnerable moments. My goal is not to “fix” clients, but to help them understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create relationships and lives that feel aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable.

Unlock Your Past - Inform Your Present - Expand Your Future

Hi, I'm Nora.

Do you feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense or find yourself reliving old family dynamics in your relationships? If you grew up in a home where emotions felt unpredictable or your needs were often overlooked, those early experiences may still affect you today. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. You deserve a space where your experiences are understood and your feelings make sense.

Therapy can help you feel heard, understood, and more grounded in your life. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

I am a somatic oriented Licensed Psychoanalyst, and Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist based in NYC. I am warm, empowering and challenging when called for.

I am a dedicated licensed clinical social worker, with over 15 years experience. I am focused on helping individuals lead a happier, healthier life. I take a warm, caring approach with clients and individualize care to each unique client.

Trauma, relationship issues, and a lifetime of being misunderstood can profoundly impact our mental health and sense of self. Some of these experiences may be difficult to process on your own, or even say out loud. As a board-certified therapist, I help women with a history of trauma/codependency build confidence; reduce self-harming behaviors; and heal their relationship with themselves.

I want you to know that my door is always open. And I'd give my all to your needs. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, as well as personality disorders. And I work with adults and seniors. Here to help you find the right avenue for your life.

I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.

My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.
