Process what happened. Anchor in the present. Live fully, even in uncertainty.

  • Meet in a calming space in central NY, to find refuge from life’s demands.

  • Meet from the comfort of your own home or the convenience of work or elsewhere if on the go. Available throughout New York and North Carolina.

You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns, anxiety, and overwhelm.

I provide structured, evidence-based trauma therapy for thoughtful, high-functioning adults across New York and North Carolina who are ready to move from survival to a life you feel genuinely present in.

If you already understand your patterns—perhaps you’ve read the books, done the research, or been in therapy before—but you still feel pulled by them when life gets loud, I can help. There is a difference between knowing your history and feeling secure in your present. We are here to move beyond "insight" and start the work of real, meaningful change.

Through a focused and steady approach, I help individuals and couples build the internal security needed to stay anchored, even when the environment feels turbulent. Whether we meet for weekly individual therapy, structured couples work, or a deep-dive EMDR Intensive, our goal is the same: to move from "coping" to a life you feel genuinely present in—one where you are no longer just managing your day, but actually living it.

Begin Therapy

You are capable, responsible, and reflective.

And yet.

  • You feel "wired but tired"—completely exhausted, yet unable to actually turn your brain off to rest.

  • The past hijacks your present, showing up as intrusive thoughts or heavy feelings you didn't invite in.

  • You’re waiting for the catch. It’s hard to remember the last time you felt truly safe or relaxed without bracing for the other shoe to drop.

  • You stay busy—constantly moving, scrolling, or working—because staying still means having to feel.

  • You’re your own harshest critic. It feels nearly impossible to soften toward yourself, even when you’re doing your best.

  • You’re going through the motions. On paper, you’re successful, but you feel like a spectator in your own life, waiting for the moment you can finally stop 'performing' and start being."

You’ve spent years pushing through difficult experiences without the chance to fully process them. Whether your "stuck" points come from early family dynamics, relational wounds, life-shattering events, or sudden loss, the result is the same: even when your life looks stable from the outside, your body is still on edge.

Moving Toward Aliveness

When you’ve survived something—whether it was a single event or a long-term environment—you learn how to keep going. You learn how to perform, how to show up, and how to ignore the alarm bells.

But you shouldn't have to wait until you are "perfectly healed" to start living. Together, we work to help your nervous system understand it is finally safe to let its guard down, while simultaneously practicing how to show up fully for the life you have right now.

Finding Your Ground: Options for Support

I offer focused, evidence-based therapy designed to help you move from "coping" to living. Whether you are looking for weekly support or an accelerated path to relief, we work together to find the pace that fits your life.

  • For the thoughtful adult ready for steady change. In these 45 to 55-minute sessions, we move beyond "talking in circles" to address the mechanics of your stuck points. We integrate EMDR and CPT for trauma resolution with DBT skills for immediate stabilization. By taking a Values-Centered approach, we ensure you aren't just processing the past, but actively building a life you feel genuinely present in.

    • Focus: Steady nervous system regulation, navigating life transitions, and shifting from "bracing" to being.

    • A Note on Relationships: If your patterns show up most loudly in your romantic life, we can incorporate the DBT-informed framework from my workbook, DBT for Dating, to help you navigate connection with clarity and Wise Mind.

  • For the client who wants to move beyond the limitations of the clock. While standard 55-minute sessions provide valuable, steady support, deep-seated trauma or persistent "stuck points" often require more room to breathe. In weekly therapy, the natural momentum of processing can sometimes be interrupted by the need to "wrap up" just as you are reaching the core of an issue. An EMDR Intensive honors your process by providing the uninterrupted time necessary for profound shifts to take hold.

    The Format: Extended sessions (4, 6, or 10 hours) over a single or several consecutive days.

    Best for: Specific shock trauma (accidents, violence), relational trauma, or "stuck points" that haven't shifted in traditional talk therapy.

  • For partners navigating their patterns together. Using the Gottman Method and DBT skills, I help couples move out of gridlock and into a place of mutual respect and connection. We focus on practical communication tools and understanding how individual trauma histories may be showing up in the relationship.

    Best for: Couples who value a structured, research-backed approach to relational health.
