If you've spent years being the most self-aware person in your relationships and still feel stuck, you're exactly who I work with. You've read the books. You've done the journaling. You know your patterns. And somehow, you still find yourself in the same dynamic, wondering why knowing better hasn't made it hurt less. Maybe it started with a parent who could never really see you. Or a partner who made you question your own reality so many times that you stopped trusting yourself. Or a relationship that ended, leaving you feeling more confused than relieved. You're not a failure. You're not too much. And you're not starting from zero.
I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, betrayal trauma, and the long shadow emotionally immature parents leave on the adults their children become. I work with people who are smart, capable, and exhausted from carrying wounds that were never theirs to carry. I have years of experience working with high-functioning and high-net-worth individuals, including lawyers, doctors, athletes, actors, CEOs, C-suite executives, and highly successful entrepreneurs, so I practice with the highest level of confidentiality in mind.
With 14 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have honed my skills and received training from prestigious institutions such as Harvard Medical School Cambridge Health Alliance. I am committed to providing the highest standard of care, which is why I offer valuable resources to support you beyond our sessions.
For those seeking a therapy approach that prioritizes action and change, I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and also implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am also a marriage counseling expert who has completed Level 2 training in Gottman Couples Therapy. Embracing diversity, I tailor your treatment to meet your unique needs, ensuring a personalized approach that resonates with you.
If you're ready to stop surviving and start actually living, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
I work virtually with clients in NY, CT, and FL.
