If you are interested in my practice, please call at: 914-354-3451.

I have offices in both NYC and Hastings.

 

I draw on my clinical, activist and legal backgrounds. I work with individuals and couples. With individuals, I work primarily with adolescents and younger adults. I also work with older adults who have experienced trauma. In my work, I honor the struggles inherent in growing up, raising children and living a life of meaning - often as one copes with real financial, social or climate related stress. With warmth and curiosity, I view our interior lives from a relational perspective. Where appropriate, I create room to explore how our political culture impacts our felt sense of well-being.

I often find courage, hope & meaning where others see destructiveness, attention-seeking or inexplicable rage. While I address a range of problems (anxiety, depression, motivation), I specifically work with individuals (and family systems) who have experienced sexual trauma. I am also a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance.

In my couples work, I draw on my knowledge of attachment and trauma, utilizing Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), for which I have been trained. Drawing on my legal experience, I consult with and provide research for attorneys regarding sexual trauma and restorative justice; I also provide expert testimony regarding trauma and memory.
