Areas of Focus: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Relationships & Beyond
New York and New Jersey
As a holistic, trauma-informed relationship specialist, I help clients understand the patterns in their nervous system, their relationships, and their sense of self that keep them feeling stuck, even when they've tried everything else. Whether you're doing this work alone or alongside a partner, we go beneath the surface issue to what's actually running the show and work toward change that holds, at your pace.
Some topics that I help you resolve:
-
When your worth got tangled up with performing, pleasing, or proving yourself, it can feel like there's no version of you that's simply enough. We work on separating who you are from what you learned to do to be safe.
-
Anxiety is more than fear or nervousness. It becomes a constant undercurrent shaping how they think, and relate to the world. Therapy works at understanding it not as a flaw to eliminate, but as a pattern that developed for understandable reasons.
-
Depression can make even ordinary life feel heavy, flat, or exhausting. Therapy looks at it not as personal failure, but as a response shaped by your history, stress, relationships, and inner world.
-
Desire doesn't exist in a vacuum, it's shaped by nervous system safety, old messaging, and the body's own memory. We create room to understand what's actually happening for you, without shame or a script for how it's "supposed" to look.
-
The relationships that were meant to feel safest are often where the deepest patterns take root. Together we trace how those early dynamics still show up in your body and your closest connections today, so they stop running the show.
-
Conflict that feels repetitive is rarely about the surface topic, it's a nervous system pattern playing out in real time. We slow that pattern down until you can see it clearly, and build new ways of reaching for each other instead of away.
-
Non-traditional relationship structures deserve support that doesn't default to monogamous frameworks or judgment. We work with the real shape of your relationship’s communication, jealousy, attachment, as they actually exist for you.
-
Betrayal shakes the nervous system's sense of safety, not just trust in the moment. We move through it at the pace it actually takes to rebuild for the relationship, or for you individually, if that's the path forward.
-
Before you build a life together, it helps to know how you each handle conflict, closeness, and the patterns you're each bringing in. This is a chance to build those foundations on purpose, rather than by accident.
Mind-Body & Energy Work
Healing doesn't only happen through words. Sometimes the most direct way to a pattern is through the body and energy itself. I am certified in a range of body-based and energy practices for clients who are drawn to them, either woven into a session or booked as their own standalone offering:
These offerings are complements to talk therapy, not replacements for it, and can be tailored to what feels right for you.
-
Gentle energy work that supports the nervous system's own capacity to settle and restore.
-
Movement-based practice that helps reconnect breath, body, and awareness, especially useful for clients who feel stuck in their heads.
-
A tool for building the kind of internal steadiness that makes deeper healing and building of new neural pathways more accessible.
-
A subtle, hands-on approach that works with the body's own rhythms to support release of old patterns and regulation that words have a hard time reaching.
