About us

I offer a deeply integrated approach, helping individuals navigate complex emotional patterns. My practice is informed by decades of clinical experience and teaching. I incorporate innovative methods like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing. These can be transformative for those seeking profound shifts and deeper connection. I provide a grounded space for exploring challenging experiences, helping clients access inner resources for lasting change.

Approach

From a foundation of clinical rigor and experimental training, we orient sessions toward attuned, stepwise exploration of felt experience. Based in New York and available online in English, sessions shift between focused dialogue, somatic noticing, and careful preparation for and integration after medication-assisted experiential sessions. We track relational and emotional patterns collaboratively, set modest experiments between meetings, and modulate pace to support containment and insight. People seeking thoughtful, sustained shifts and deeper self-connection tend to find this steady, exploratory rhythm helpful.
