For over 30 years, I've been helping people in New York work through the things that feel stuck — old patterns, painful memories, anxiety that won't quit, relationships that keep going sideways.
My approach draws on psychoanalysis, IFS, and EMDR, which together allow
us to understand why you're feeling the way you are, and actually do
something about it.
Sessions are thoughtful and collaborative, and grounded in the belief that real change happens when we tend to both the mind and the body.
The Transformation
About
The Full Story
I'm a licensed psychoanalyst with training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Creative Art Therapy and EMDR. What that means in practice: I don't just talk about what's happening — we work to understand it at a deeper level, and then actually
shift it (updating).
My background is a little unusual. I started out as a dance/movement therapist, which gave me an early appreciation for how much the body holds — stress, grief, old experiences that never fully got processed. That sensibility runs through everything I do, even in sessions that are mostly conversation.
Over the years I've worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and the quieter kinds of suffering that are hard to name but very real. I have offices in Astoria and mostly work online.
Services
Trauma & EMDR Some experiences leave a mark that doesn't fade just by talking about them. IFS/EMDR is a way of revisiting those experiences so the memory loses its charge — it tends to work faster than traditional talk therapy for this kind of thing, and the results tend to stick.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) Most of us have parts of ourselves that seem to be working against us — the part that shuts down, the part that lashes out, the part that's never satisfied. IFS is a way of getting to know those parts without judgment, understanding what they're protecting, and helping the whole system work better together.
Psychoanalysis & Relational Work Sometimes what's most useful is slowing down and really looking at the patterns — in relationships, in how you see yourself, in the stories you carry about who you are. This is longer, deeper work, and for the right person, it changes things in a lasting way.
Executive Burnout & Chronic Stress High-functioning doesn't mean fine. A lot of people who come to see me are holding a lot together on the outside while something's quietly fraying on the inside. We work on both the symptoms and what's driving them.
Executive Burnout & High-Pressure Stress
Addressing the somatic manifestations of prolonged professional strain.
Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)
Systematic resolution of historical imprints on the mind and body.
Relational Psychoanalysis
Examining the unconscious dynamics that shape professional and personal interpersonal patterns.
Psychedelic Integration
Providing a clinical, psychoanalytic framework for the processing and application of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
