About

I am a body oriented Clinical Social worker (Fordham University) also psychoanalytically trained (Institute for the Psychanalytic Study of Subjectivity, NYC.) Trained originally in a body-mind therapy (Rubenfeld Synergy) I have gone on to work with somatically oriented therapies such as EMDR and AEDP. My primary modality at this point is Intensive Short Term Dynamic Therapy.please feel free to ask me about any of these approaches. I work experientially with how emotional issues intersect with the body. Since emotions are somatic, I spend time facilitating awareness and understanding of what is happening in the body-mind in different states (anxiety, depression, panic, addiction, chronic pain, trauma.) I use the therapeutic relationship to create a safe experience for exploring these self states. I include in my work a structural and systemic understanding of the social forces that contribute to trauma, including but not limited to race, gender and class. I strive to create an inclusive healing space where all can feel safe enough to look at and transform their suffering. Come and try my work out to see if it is a fit for you.
