My path to this work was forged through fire. At 22, I was a professional dancer until a ruptured disc suddenly forced me into deep contemplation. In that silence, I faced a quarter-life crisis that terrified me. I spent two weeks scouring my mind, searching for a purpose that could match the intensity I could no longer express with my body.

The answer lay in the gap between what I had always needed and what I gotten. I’m far from the only gifted and and neurodivergent child with undiagnosed learning disabilities or a “mystery illness” who ended up in the Troubled Teen Industry; an abusive and unregulated industry that preys on manipulates desperate parents and promises to “treatment” to kids they can’t even properly understand or diagnose. I longed for a brilliant mind that could help me deconstruct and reconstruct myself—but instead, I had been met with control and ineptitude.

I decided then and there to become the antidote. I realized I wanted to become what I had desperately needed but never gotten, a guide with competence, skill, and true curiosity. I decided to become a therapist and I built my career to be the exact opposite of the "treatment" I endured. My practice is designed to provide the intellectual rigor, the safety, and the deep understanding that complex survivors deserve.

My personal experiences transformed me into a Wounded Healer. I am a pattern-seeker by nature. I don't just listen to your story; I look for the invisible threads connecting your biology, your history, and your spirit. I believe that symptoms are not defects—they are data pointing us toward what needs to be healed.

The Credentials & The Calling

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University, where I specialized in Health, Mental Health, and Disabilities. For over 15 years, I have worked on the front lines of trauma and addiction—from the streets with homeless youth to high-end residential treatment centers.

But my true expertise lies in the intersection of Clinical Science and Somatic Wisdom.

I specialize in working with High-Functioning Survivors—the gifted, the sensitive, and the neurodivergent. I understand the unique exhaustion of holding up a "perfect" mask while feeling unseen on the inside. My practice is a sanctuary for those who are tired of explaining themselves and ready to be understood without translation.

Chronic Illness & The Nervous System

I bring a unique lens to the table: I get it. Living with conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), MCAS, POTS, ME/CFS, and Endometriosis has made me a specialist in the language of the body. I offer deep empathy and practical, strategic advice for clients navigating the medical maze. I help you distinguish between mental health symptoms and biological flares, empowering you to advocate for your health and reclaim your functional life.

The Alchemical Toolbox

My approach is holistic and bespoke. I don't just treat symptoms; I help you transmute them.

I integrate gold-standard modalities like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) to unlock the nervous system.

I weave these modern tools together with Ancient Wisdom and a Jungian perspective, creating a container that honors the spiritual and archetypal dimensions of your healing.

Additionally, I incorporate innovative modalities like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which I utilize specifically for Treatment-Resistant Depression and for facilitating profound breakthroughs when traditional talk therapy has hit a wall.

The Invitation

I show up as a real person. I bring my warmth, my humor, and my directness into the room. I don't believe in being a 'blank slate'; I believe in being a fellow traveler who happens to have a very detailed map.

I invite you to connect with me. Whether you are navigating complex trauma, a mystery illness, or a spiritual awakening, you do not have to do it alone. Let’s turn your history into your power.
