Therapy that works with mind and body

A mindful, body based approach for adults in New York who are ready to be curious.

Who This Is For

I work best with people who are willing to be mindful and curious. You don't need any meditation experience. You need some willingness to slow down and notice what is happening inside you while we talk.

That includes people who have done therapy before and understand their patterns well, but still feel stuck in them.

What I Draw On

Recreation of the Self
Recreation of the Self is an approach I draw on to explore your sense of who you are.
Hakomi
A mindful method where we study your present experience to find the beliefs that shape it.
Somatic work
Body based attention to breath, posture, and sensation, where anxiety and old pain often live.
Psychodynamic therapy
Understanding how early relationships shaped the patterns you live with now.

The Organic Self

I believe each of us has an Organic Self, a true, innate core that was there before anything went wrong. The innate self is not wounded, the wounding dislocated us from it.

Therapy, the way I practice it, helps you regain your true, innate, whole, empowered sense of Self, and with it the feeling, "It's good to be me."

"I'm committing myself to years of therapy."

I hear this worry often, and it makes sense. Nobody wants to sign up for something with no end in sight. I want people to know we're not talking about years of therapy. Clients often start meeting weekly and then move to every other week, and we check in together on how it is going.
