About me

As a psychotherapist licensed in the state of New York with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the complex interplay between the body, mind, and emotions in the context of trauma, thoughts, and life circumstances.

My approach emphasizes the body's natural responses to stress, trauma, and emotional experiences, providing clients with a compassionate, creative, and open-minded space for healing.

I work with individuals and couples facing a wide range of challenges, including addiction, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ issues, polyamory, and kink, offering a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

My therapeutic practice fosters a trusting relationship where clients feel safe to explore and process deep emotional experiences.

In addition to my clinical work, I have been actively involved in communities and research focused on the safe and responsible use of psychedelics for self-exploration and transformation.

I integrate this knowledge into my practice, providing a holistic approach that respects each client's unique path to growth and healing.

My goal is to support clients in finding balance, self-acceptance, and empowerment, guiding them toward a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

It takes tremendous courage and a deep self-awareness to take the first step in coming to therapy. I look forward to being part of this courageous process with you. And we will have some good laughs along the way.
