Recognizing the need for support is the first step toward lasting change. As an integrative psychotherapist drawing on three decades of experience, I provide a comprehensive, multi-layered framework designed to help you navigate the complexities of trauma and addictive disorders. I hold a specialized focus in treating the unique challenges of compulsive technology use, helping you restore balance and intentionality to your digital and personal life.
To accommodate the complexities of a modern schedule, I provide a flexible hybrid model, offering both in-person sessions at my Manhattan office and secure telehealth consultations
Your past doesn't have to be your future.
I help people heal from the aftermath of trauma. Whether you are dealing with a single overwhelming event or the long-term effects of a difficult history, I provide a clear, structured path to recovery.
My approach is integrative, combining the deep insight of IFS and Psychodynamic work with the transformative processing of EMDR and targeted nervous system regulation of Somatic Experiencing and Yoga Nidra. Together,we break the loop of "high alert" and restore your system to a healthier, balanced state.
Your patterns don’t define your potential.
The patterns that helped you survive don’t have to be the ones you live by today. If you feel stuck in repetitive cycles or compulsive behaviors, know that your potential is far greater than your habits. Together, we can break the loop and restore your system for clarity, balance, and ease.

I’m excited to announce this new digital wellness program, a comprehensive path designed to help you rebalance your life, reclaim your attention and refocus on what really matters to you.
Enrolling in a technology addiction recovery program is about more than just putting down a phone or turning off the TV; it’s about reclaiming the agency and mental space that screens often occupy.
All messages will be responded to during office hours, Monday-Friday. If you are in need of immediate assistance, please contact your nearest ER or call 911.
