My passion is working with those who are in traumatic relationships, those who are dealing with life transitions, identity issues, relationship problems, and confusion.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in private practice in Glen Head, New York. My practice specializes in working with those who have been in traumatic relationships (CPTSD), either in childhood or adult relationships, who suffer from loss of identity, people pleasing, anger and sadness.

This was the work I wanted to do at a young age, when I became fascinated with dreams, their hidden meanings, and all things mystical about the world. Lacking maturity and the life experience necessary to take the profession on after high school, I went in to the beauty industry as a hair stylist, but eventually found my way back, pursuing the original dream to deeply understand the human condition and all of its meaning.

In my practice, I’m engaging and direct, and provide a warm atmosphere to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences that are causing confusion, frustration, or are weighing on you. The most important and meaningful relationship we’ll ever have is the one we cultivate within ourself, because how we feel about ourself extends out and colors the rest of our relationships, so this is a main area of focus in the therapy. I’ve successfully worked with and treated adults with anxiety, depression, narcissistic abuse, relationship conflicts, parenting issues, (C)PTSD, those who feel stuck or trapped, and those whose life experiences have caused confusion or trauma.

My approach to therapy is deeply transformational and aims to provide safety, understanding, and the expansion of your consciousness. My philosophy is that well-being can be boiled down to sharpening your understanding of yourself and your emotional world within the relationship with another, as well as cultivating deeper meaning and purpose in your life, and regularly developing intuition.

In addition to formal training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, hypnosis, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and personal psychoanalysis, I’ve also done healing with psychedelics, initially under the guidance of a medicine woman and a shaman, and later on my own.

I strive to expose myself to advanced ways of healing through neuroscience, physics, philosophy, meditation, journaling/writing, gratitude, breathwork, sound healing, exercise, and movement towards greater connection and love. This has lead to a deeper understanding of how to therapeutically work with disconnection and emotionally traumatic experiences, and toward a brighter future.
