Tender therapy for modern lives.
Trauma-informed Somatic Psychotherapy
for adults in New York and Online
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your full potential?
From the outside, it may seem like you have everything together - yet inside, something feels off. When the pressures of modern life, creative work, or past experiences become overwhelming, it can be hard to feel like yourself. Guided by neuroscience and attachment research, I offer compassionate, embodied, trauma‑informed therapy in New York for adults who want to feel more grounded, connected, and fully alive. I specialize in therapy for creatives and professionals, providing support for anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, grief, and trauma.
Many of my clients are artists, entertainment industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders who seek greater freedom, authenticity, and balance in both their creative work and personal lives. Perfectionism, creative blocks, imposter syndrome, anxiety, burnout, and decision fatigue are rarely isolated struggles - they're protective patterns your nervous system developed to keep you safe. Over time, chronic stress can emerge when these patterns keep you stuck in survival mode. As a somatic and trauma‑informed therapist, I help clients caught in cycles of fear, doubt, or overwhelm - often rooted in early life experiences or trauma stored in the body - gently unwind these patterns so they can live with more ease, flow, and confidence.
My approach supports creative professionals across New York - from emerging artists and performers to established cultural leaders - who are navigating professional visibility, performance pressure, and public expectations. Somatic therapy can help you breathe more easily, feel safer and more connected, and rediscover freedom and joy in both your creative process and everyday life.
I offer personalized therapy and trauma‑informed care tailored to your individual nervous system, personal history, and lived experience. In addition to individual and group therapy, I offer coaching and consultation for creatives seeking burnout recovery, performance expansion,, emotional resilience and professional growth.
I'd welcome the opportunity to discover whether we might be a good fit.

Brainspotting is a neurobiological framework for healing trauma and emotionally charged experiences that are stored in the brain and body.
Brainspotting can help you deeply process and fully release the negative thoughts, unhealthy coping, emotional pain, and difficult past experiences that keep you from thriving in the present. Using specific eye positions connected to subcortical activation, Brainspotting allows the nervous system to self-scan and process unresolved stress or trauma. It’s a deeply attuned, bottom-up and inside-out method, working directly with the body’s natural capacity for regulation and repair.
-
Expand artistry and wellbeing with psychotherapy tailored for creatives and leaders.
Somatic modalities like Brainspotting can help heal performance issues - expanding full potential, flow states and possibilities. Brainspotting restores spontaneous expression by dissolving tension patterns that once served protection but now limit presence, removing interference so that creativity can flow.
-
Release the weight of the past and step fully into the present.
Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based, highly effective modality designed to treat the traumas that often underlie anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, low self esteem, and many other difficulties. EMDR can help you reprocess the past and increase nervous system safety. It is also a great way to help build confidence and enhance performance.

Brainspotting is a powerful support in psychedelic integration, helping clients gently access and process the emotional and somatic material that may surface before, during, and after a psychedelic experience.
By attuning to where the body holds the felt-sense and activation of the experience, Brainspotting allows insights, memories, and sensations from the journey to be integrated even more deeply at the nervous-system level. This approach can support meaning-making, emotional regulation, and a sense of grounding. Clients are able to embody, integrate and even expand on the growth, clarity, and deep healing that emerged during their original experience.
-
Work creatively and collaboratively in a supportive, affirming space where your identity and experiences are respected and celebrated.
Together, we’ll create a safe environment in which you can speak freely, explore your fears, hopes, dreams, and goals, and discover new ways to connect with your authentic self. Whether you’re navigating coming out, relationships, transitions, or the everyday challenges of being yourself in the world, this is a place for healing, growth, and empowerment.
