About My Clients

I have worked extensively with adult and adolescent survivors of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, and relational trauma for over 15 years. I started my career as a therapist with the Crime Victims Treatment Center in New York City, where I ran a group for male survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

My Background and Approach

I have training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II). My approach is rooted in the belief that safety and connection between client and therapist are the foundation for healing. My main goals for therapy include reducing the shame, overwhelming fear, and isolation that many trauma survivors experience. As a therapist, I serve as a supportive, caring, and attentive guide in revisiting emotional wounds. In working as a team to have new and positive emotional experiences, we can achieve vitality, connection, authenticity, and transformation.
