Board Certified & Licensed Psychotherapist
President of the New York State Chapter of the American Dance Therapy Association
Within the heart of every individual, there's a tapestry woven from emotions, perceptions, and intuitions, shaped by attachment styles, ancestral teachings, and traumatic experiences.
It's within these patterns we debunk our life's rhythms and hold the blueprint of returning to inherent self-worth.
There are many nuances here to explore and learn together - to become radically honest about our holds, and co-creating new abundance from there.
I used to roll my eyes when I heard people say, "It's about the journey," and "Trust the process," but it is true! And, we can't possibly go it alone.
For high-achieving professionals who are navigating abandonment wounds due to disturbing emotional flashbacks,
I provide an individualized, energy-centered Creative Arts Therapy virtual space.
Using evidence-based tools such as Dance/Movement Therapy, Parts Work, and Somatic Experiencing, I guide clients to reconnect with creative intelligence, freedom and autonomy.
In the weekly virtual sessions, we will create a consistent space towards reclaiming, nurturing and consciously connecting again.
We have partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. Use this tool below to see if you qualify for reimbursement for my services.

About
Approach
This holistic approach is strengths-based, collaborative and trauma-informed by evidence-based practices. The interventions I use as containers include creative arts therapies, Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Bibliotherapy, Guided Visualization, and Progressing Counting (PC). Each of these modalities is grounded in bottom-up, liberation-based, scientific research and is individualized meeting the unique needs of clients where they're at on their healing journey. This work will aid in increases in levels of empathy, peace, and clarity leading to embodied self-control, trauma-resolution, re-integration of integrity, and self-respect. The most common diagnosis I work with is complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (c-PTSD) related to lingering abandonment wounds and trauma of all beings, designs, genders, orientations, and backgrounds ♡
