Life can feel overwhelming, directionless, or stuck. You may be carrying trauma, anxiety, relationship pain, or creative blocks. In our sessions, we explore the roots of these experiences while building the inner resources needed for clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.
You might be:
Struggling with anxiety, codependency, or ongoing stress
Feeling unfulfilled, stuck, or unsure of who you are
Navigating relationship issues, dating patterns, or loneliness
Recovering from trauma or looking to break free from childhood patterns
Longing to access your creativity and live more meaningfully
Through therapy, you may begin to:
Understand your inner world and emotional patterns
Set boundaries with clarity and compassion
Heal from past wounds and regulate your nervous system
Unlock your creativity and voice
Move toward more aligned, authentic choices
Modalities may include: Talk therapy (psychodynamic, relational, CBT), drama therapy, EMDR, somatic work, mindfulness, and expressive arts therapy in NYC.

Children and teens often express their emotions through behavior, play, or creativity. Using developmentally appropriate, expressive modalities, I support young people in exploring their feelings, building emotional resilience, and developing healthy coping tools.
You might be seeing:
Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or frequent shutdowns
Low self-esteem, social challenges, or isolation
Difficulty managing big feelings at home or in school
Identity exploration, especially among neurodivergent or LGBTQ+ youth
Therapy can help children & teens:
Build confidence and communication skills
Regulate their emotions and feel more in control
Improve relationships at home and in school
Feel seen, accepted, and supported in who they are
Parents are offered guidance and collaboration throughout the process to support growth beyond the therapy space.
Modalities may include: Play therapy, drama therapy, expressive arts therapy, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and parent support sessions.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and painful emotional patterns. It works by allowing the brain to reprocess stuck memories—those often at the root of negative self-beliefs like “I’m not enough” or overwhelming reactions tied to past experiences.
Before starting EMDR therapy, you may feel anxious, hypervigilant, or caught in repetitive emotional loops. Together, we’ll identify the memories and beliefs that feel most distressing, and I’ll guide you through a structured process using bilateral stimulation (such as back-and-forth eye movements) to help unlock those patterns. Clients often report a reduction in trauma symptoms, greater emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of calm and clarity in their daily lives.
I am trained in attachment-focused EMDR through the Parnell Institute, which means I bring a warm, relational approach to this work—especially helpful for those navigating complex or developmental trauma. We’ll use our therapeutic relationship as a secure base while processing memories, supporting not only symptom relief but also long-term emotional repair and self-worth.
EMDR can be offered as a focused stand-alone therapy or integrated into broader psychotherapy sessions, depending on your needs.
Other Ways I Can Help
-
Not all blocks are clinical. If you are a creative individual who feels stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed in your creative life, coaching offers a supportive space to reignite your inner voice and bring your vision forward.
Creative coaching may support you if you:
Are stuck in perfectionism or creative paralysis
Feel disconnected from your sense of purpose or passion
Are starting or restarting a project that feels deeply personal
Are looking to live more creatively, expressively, and intuitively
These sessions are action-oriented, emotionally attuned, and customized to your creative rhythm. It's about unlocking what already lives inside you.
-
An experiential, embodied form of therapy that helps people explore emotions, relationships, and internal roles through story, action, and play.

Creative arts therapy blends psychotherapy with expression through movement, art, role play, and storytelling. It’s ideal for clients—of any age—who process feelings beyond just words.

I offer gentle, holistic therapy in NYC for older adults, caregivers, and individuals navigating the transitions of aging, illness, or anticipatory grief. Sessions are grounded in presence, ritual, and emotional processing.
Clients often experience:
Relief from fear, confusion, or spiritual distress
A deepened sense of peace and meaning
Strengthened connection with loved ones
Space to reflect on legacy and life review
Therapy may include: Narrative therapy, somatic support, expressive arts therapy, guided reflection, and caregiver consultation.
As a trained end-of-life doula in NYC, I offer emotional, spiritual, and logistical guidance for individuals and families preparing for death. Doulas support the dying process by creating calm, sacred, and compassionate space.
This may include:
Advance care planning
Ritual or ceremony design
Life review and legacy projects
Vigil support
Support for loved ones
Doula care is available in person or virtually, and can complement psychotherapy or exist as its own supportive process.

I am considered an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, I’m happy to provide superbills (receipts for services) that you can submit for reimbursement through your insurance plan or FSA/HSA account. Many clients do receive partial reimbursement. I encourage you to check with your insurance company to understand your out-of-network mental health benefits.
-
My standard fee for individual and family therapy sessions ranges from $225 to $300 for a 50-minute session. I understand that financial needs vary, and I do offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. We’ll discuss your rate and options during our initial consultation, with the intention of finding something that works for both of us.
-
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the missed appointment. I recognize that life is unpredictable—emergencies and illness happen—and I approach those situations with flexibility and care, assessing them on a case-by-case basis.
