The path of self-discovery may be one of the most profound journeys on which we embark. I believe that walking this path takes two things: developing a loving and accepting relationship with ourselves, as well as, being witnessed, validated, and supported by another. The benefits of becoming aware and open to your own experience are immeasurable. Shifting from old, frustrating patterns that feel impossible to change to a state of mind where you know you have more choice is life changing and profoundly rewarding.

My role as therapist is to help guide and support your unique process of self-discovery. Along this path we can become aware of and then heal our self-destructive and limiting beliefs, addictive or patterned behaviors and unhealthy relationships to grow our acceptance of self so that we can move towards a life of fulfillment, purpose and ease. I utilize my education in Psychoanalysis, Trauma Studies, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, and I am a certified EMDR practitioner through EMDRIA.

I am located in West Saugerties, NY and travel to midtown Manhattan occasionally. I meet with my NYC clients predominately online. Please contact me to make an appointment.
