“The light of love is always in us, no matter how cold the flame. It is always present, waiting for the heart to awaken and call us back—waiting to see the light.”

Client Services & Supports

In my work, I emphasize connection, compassion, and curiosity, supporting individuals, professionals, and organizations in addressing developmental trauma, fostering self-awareness, and promoting meaningful growth. Whether working one-on-one, supervising clinicians, or consulting with teams, I bring a deep understanding of the ways unresolved patterns can impact personal and professional relationships. By creating a safe and collaborative space, I help clients and organizations move toward healing, integration, and authentic connection.

    Therapy

    I offer a supportive and holistic approach to therapy that helps people explore how their thoughts, emotions, and physiological sensations affect their daily lives. By paying close attention to these patterns, I guide clients to recognize behaviors or habits that may be holding them back from feeling present and connected with themselves and others. Together, we explore how these patterns might have started in the past, while staying focused on what’s happening now to create meaningful change.

    I bring an understanding that our capacity to feel ease, connected, and present is deeply influenced by the ways we needed to adapt to early life relationships, environments, and whether our core developmental needs were fulfilled or inhibited. When those needs aren’t met, we develop survival strategies which often get in the way later in life and lead to uncomfortable symptomologies. My approach helps clients work through these challenges by addressing both the emotional and physical nature of these survival strategies.

    In our work, I focus on:

    • Supporting presence to the body and mind.
    • Exploring self-image to discover a more authentic sense of self.
    • Developing a greater capacity for internal connection and focusing on the present as a way to heal and grow.

    Using an approach called the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), I help clients build on their strengths, connect to the wisdom of their challenges, and focus on their innate resources for their unique self-expression. Instead of asking why someone is the way they are, I help them understand how their old ways of coping might be affecting them now—and how to move toward feeling more connected, alive, and in control.

    At the core of my work is a belief that love, connection, and wholeness are natural to all of us. My hope is to help clients rediscover their own ability to grow and thrive.

    Services & Rates

    I accept most commercial insurance plans in New York and Florida, and can also offer a superbill to support with reimbursement from your insurance company if I am not in-network with your plan. Each insurance company has a different policy on how much they will reimburse for out of network providers, so it is important to clarify your specific benefits with your insurance.

    My out-of-pocket session rate is $150, with the possibility for a sliding scale depending on your financial circumstances.

    Sessions are 55 minutes in length.

    While I have a 24-hour cancellation policy, I will do my best to reschedule appointments needing to be cancelled within that time frame as I understand life has many demands.

    *I am only providing telehealth therapy sessions at this time.

    Clinical Supervision

    I provide a supportive and collaborative space for clinicians to explore their work with curiosity, self-reflection, and especially themes of countertransference. Together, we examine the relational dynamics that arise in therapeutic settings, deepening understanding of both client processes and the clinician’s own responses. In these spaces of exploration, I help therapists develop greater clarity, presence, and confidence, fostering their growth as practitioners while supporting their clients’ healing journeys.

    Clinical consultations are 50 minutes and $125.

    Consulting

    I work with teams and organizations to identify and address underlying relational dynamics and patterns that may be limiting connection, collaboration, and overall effectiveness. By fostering a compassionate and curious environment, I support organizations in building greater self-awareness, enhancing communication, and creating systems that prioritize authenticity and well-being. This approach helps organizations move beyond surface-level challenges to cultivate a culture of trust, resilience, and meaningful growth.
