The Bridge Between Clinical Depth and Somatic Wisdom
For ten years, I have worked as a clinical therapist helping people navigate the intricacies of what it means to be human. For a lifetime, I have worked to understand and embody it myself.
My Path
We often live our lives from the neck up, navigating the world through a fog of thought while our bodies carry the unspoken weight of our past. I know this path well because I have walked it myself. For years, I lived in a state of chronic dissociation, disconnected from my own physical experience. My journey toward becoming a therapist began with my own healing as I learned, slowly and safely, how to inhabit my body again and regulate a nervous system that had forgotten how to feel at peace.
Today, as a psychoanalytic, relational, somatic psychotherapist, I help individuals and couples bridge the gap between the mind and the body to create a deeper sense of presence and fulfillment in every area of their lives.
My Approach
My work is built on over a decade of intensive clinical work and training and six years of dedicated private practice in New York City. I don’t just ask "how does that make you feel?" I help you track where that feeling lives in your body and nervous system to begin unwinding the patterns and belief systems that aren’t serving you. By combining the "why" of psychoanalysis with the "how" of somatic regulation, we address the root causes of distress rather than just the symptoms.
Clinical Expertise: I hold a Master’s degree from NYU and am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT). Following my graduate work, I completed five years of post-graduate psychoanalytic training at the Institute for Expressive Analysis. This allows me to help you uncover the unconscious "blueprints" and familial patterning that may be keeping you stuck in your current life or relationships.
Relational Intimacy: As an Imago Couples Therapist, I help partners decode the ways they unconsciously replicate childhood dynamics in their adult relationships. Together, we use presence, embodiment practices and conscious dialogue to transform conflict into a gateway for deeper intimacy.
Embodied Wisdom: My approach to the body is informed by both my clinical background and my studies with leading embodiment and relational teachers such as John Wineland, Kendra Cunov, and Erin Kinney. Having navigated my own path from a lifetime of dissociation to a life of presence, I bring a unique level of understanding to those learning to regulate their nervous systems and find deeper ways of relating.
