Out-of-Network Therapy
Therapy in NY and NJ
Service Description
My approach to therapy is integrative and systems-focused. I pay attention not only to what’s happening internally, but also to the systems around you—family, work, culture, and relationships—and how those systems shape internal beliefs, emotional responses, and patterns of behavior. I also consider physiological and nervous system processes and how they influence mental health, stress, and overall well-being. I work well with people who are looking for more than validation alone. I will absolutely listen, attune, and sit with you—and I will also gently challenge you when needed. Therapy with me isn’t just talking through the week; it’s about building a more compassionate, honest, and functional relationship with yourself and your parts so that meaningful change can happen. I am formally trained in EMDR and IFS and have several years of experience working in a DBT clinic. I also incorporate somatic-informed approaches and continue to deepen my work through ongoing learning, reading, and self-study. I’m deeply invested in understanding how different therapeutic models intersect, and I bring them together in a way that fits the person in front of me rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. If you’re someone who feels stuck in familiar patterns—whether you tend to be over-controlled, emotionally overwhelmed or reactive, or somewhere in between—this work may be a good fit. You might be highly self-aware, or you may simply know that something isn’t working anymore. Together, we explore how your internal parts, nervous system, and life experiences interact, and we work toward helping you feel more regulated, flexible, and connected. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else; it’s about building the capacity to respond to yourself and your life with more choice, compassion, and steadiness.
