Summary

Experienced psychodynamic therapist with dual licensure in New York and New Jersey. Specialized in trauma-informed therapy, anxiety, life transitions, and psychedelic facilitation and research. Utilizing contemplative wisdom and somatic awareness, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Buddhist psychotherapy, and yoga philosophy to create a transformational sanctuary for adult and emerging adult populations. Through private practice and clinical research, I provide a safe space for individuals to reconnect with their innate wholeness, fostering resilience, balance, and profound inner healing.
