a place to begin
Many people come to this work carrying the effects of experiences that overwhelmed them at some point in life. For some, that began early — growing up in environments marked by emotional pain, instability, or unmet needs. For others, it came later through traumatic events, prolonged stress, loss, anxiety that won’t settle, questions of self-worth or the end of important relationships. And for many, it’s a combination of both.
What these experiences share is not a label, but an impact. They can leave a lasting imprint on the nervous system — shaping how we feel, relate, protect ourselves, and move through the world long after the original circumstances have passed.
You don’t need to name what you’ve been through in a particular way. Often, people arrive simply knowing that something hasn’t fully settled — that they feel stuck, disconnected, or unable to move forward despite insight and effort. This work takes that knowing seriously.
how this work helps
When experiences overwhelm our capacity — especially when this happens early, repeatedly, or without support — the nervous system adapts in order to survive. Those adaptations can look like staying on high alert, shutting down emotionally, holding distance in relationships, or carrying a constant sense of tension or vigilance. At one point, these responses made sense. Over time, they can become exhausting.
The focus of this work is to encourage clarity, movement and lasting, meaningful change that feels right for you. This begins by helping the nervous system recover and regain steadiness, flexibility, and a felt sense of safety and energy in the present.
My work is grounded in experiential, attachment-focused therapy and draws thoughtfully from a range of trauma-informed approaches, guided by what the nervous system needs in the moment. The work is offered with warmth, respect, and careful attention to pacing so change can unfold without overwhelm.
what brings people to this work
People come to this work carrying many forms of pain, including:
Growing up in painful or emotionally challenging circumstances that shaped your world
Early attachment or relationship injuries that linger
Traumatic or life-altering events that can be felt long after the event has passed
Prolonged stress that never had space to resolve
Grief and loss of people, relationships, or parts of life that mattered
The end of meaningful relationships
Betrayal and relational rupture
Depleting sense of constant tension, vigilance, panic, anxiety or unease that feels hard to turn off or settle
Toxic force of questioning your self-worth or fearing failure
Experiences of being marginalized, misunderstood, or made unsafe because of who they are
These experiences often show up in ways people don’t always expect — feeling stuck, disconnected from themselves or others, repeating patterns despite effort, or reacting strongly without fully understanding why. All of this is understandable. None of it means something is wrong with you.
where healing unfolds over time
Different moments call for different kinds of support, and we decide together what feels most helpful.
Weekly Trauma-Focused Depth Psychotherapy offers a steady, relational, and experiential space — a soft place to land — to work with what has been shaping you. The work moves at a pace that respects your nervous system, allowing change to unfold gradually, with care for safety and integration over time.
Intentional Depth Therapy is time-limited and offers a contained, depth-oriented format for working with a specific issue, experience, or transition within an agreed-upon time frame. The work is relational and experiential, drawing from trauma-informed approaches — including AEDP and EMDR — with focus, pacing, and length shaped collaboratively by readiness and nervous-system capacity.
Therapeutic Breathwork Sessions — in a contained, trauma-informed way — are available as a way of working when it feels helpful to engage experience more directly through the body.
Some people work exclusively in weekly therapy. Others integrate breathwork and focused therapy work at particular points. The goal is not to follow a formula, but to respond to what you’re carrying and what helps it settle and integrate.
when depth matters
Focused intensives and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) offer the potential for meaningful depth — and are offered selectively and on a limited basis.
Focused Intensives — half- or full-day — offer a carefully held container for people who want to work with a specific theme, pattern, or experience and feel ready for more concentrated attention. The day weaves together trauma-informed breathwork, mindful movement, sound, and extended synthesis of experiential therapies — all held within a clear, intentional structure that supports safety, depth, and integration. Intensives are about creating the right conditions for deeper work to unfold — conditions that often allow meaningful shifts or moments of breakthrough to emerge when the system is ready.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Series may be considered when trauma, depression, or stress responses feel deeply entrenched and access to change seems blocked in ordinary states of awareness. This work is approached with discernment, preparation, and care.
“Healing isn’t about erasing or rewriting the past — it’s about no longer being alone with it, about reclaiming the capacity to feel, integrate, and carry what once overwhelmed you, so life can move forward from wholeness, not from wounding.”
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and trauma and dissociation specialist with more than two decades of experience — caring for clients in New York and Connecticut, and supporting therapists around the world.
My work integrates AEDP, Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, relational therapy, and interpersonal neuroscience into one adaptive, experiential approach.
I’ve had the privilege of teaching internationally, training advanced clinicians, and presenting on trauma, dissociation, and experiential methods.
At the heart of it all is a single focus: helping people — whether clients or therapists — move toward authentic healing, growth, and transformation.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be glad to meet with you.
