I am a NY/NJ licensed psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor, with over a decade of experience helping those with a variety of issues. I have significant experience working with addiction, grief and loss, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, and trauma. As a certified practitioner, I often use Somatic Experiencing alongside other therapeutic modalities to help expand or deepen our work. Through the process of incorporating body/nervous system-based interventions I've found that my clients and I are able to work through certain issues/traumas that often feel treatment resistant or difficult to access and heal through talk therapy alone.
For me, the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy, so I work on building a foundation of trust, leading to personal exploration and goal setting. I bring empathy, curiosity, humor, and genuineness, and work to tailor an approach that suits each individual's unique needs. Therapy can help you learn more about who you and to start prioritizing the things that are most meaningful to you. Whether your goal is to learn to cope better with significant challenges or to discover deeper connections in relationships and life in general, I am looking forward to being there with you on your journey!
