Philosophy
integrative approach offering Exquisitely Tailored 360-degree Care
Your unique needs matter, and your psychological care should be thoughtfully designed and tailored to meet your needs and goals. I understand that New York individuals and couples seeking the highest quality of mental health care deserve a bespoke and expert-led therapeutic experience. When it comes to healing, your physical and mental health matter equally. Addressing one without the other will result in suboptimal care. In addition to talk therapy, we delve deeper by tapping into the wisdom of your body to uncover the root cause of your imbalance. We consider all aspects of your life, a 360 degree approach to well-being—physical, emotional, identity, relationships, sexuality, habits, movement, nutrition, recreation, career, spirituality, intellectual, environment, and community. Helping you integrate the disenfranchised and neglected parts of yourself so you can live a nourished, authentic, and meaningful life.
Expertly trained, seasoned, and fully Credentialed Expert
You have the opportunity to work with a seasoned professional with a broad range of training, experience, and advanced certifications working with individuals, executives, and those who require the highest level of care. My advanced training allows me to offer a synthesis of many highly effective and evidence-based modalities that work to transform your mental health concerns.
Holistic, Transformative & individualized Approach
When it comes to healing, you can’t just think your way out of trauma or other problems, which is why cognitive therapies and talk therapies are limited in their ability to help people heal. Somatic therapy may be the missing link in your healing journey to fully integrate and release blocks that keep people stuck. The integration of various therapeutic modalities—such as EMDR, somatic therapies, psychoanalytic therapy, humanistic and relational therapy, internal family systems, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and solution-focused therapy—ensures comprehensive and transformative healing. This approach addresses not only thoughts and behaviors but also the root causes of distress, promoting profound healing.
Discreet and convenient care
Your privacy is a top priority. I offer a confidential, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform to deliver high-quality care, designed to help you experience ease and comfort so you can prioritize your mental health. Feel free to have your session with your pet, a blanket, and a warm drink if you wish.

Heal
Nervous system dysfunction & Chronic Pain or Illness
Are you struggling with mental health concerns as a result of navigating chronic illness and chronic pain? It’s possible to reduce suffering and reclaim well-being and vitality by healing your dysregulated nervous system.
Navigating these challenges of chronic illness requires a holistic approach that integrates both top-down somatic and nervous system interventions, as well as bottom-up, practical strategies. If you’re living with chronic illness or unexplained health symptoms, such as long COVID, POTS, MCAS, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue, unresolved trauma could be playing a significant role in your struggles. Chronic health conditions are often deeply connected to a dysregulated nervous system, where emotional trauma and physical symptoms are intertwined. Addressing both aspects through a holistic approach can help restore balance, improve your resilience, and promote healing. I specialize in helping individuals with chronic conditions by combining trauma-informed therapies with practical strategies like mindfulness, vagus nerve healing, and stress management to reduce pain and enhance distress tolerance.
Unresolved trauma can contribute to a range of complex health issues, from autoimmune disorders to digestive problems, hormone imbalances, and environmental sensitivities. By targeting nervous system dysfunction and working through past emotional wounds, we can break the cycle of pain and frustration. My approach focuses on healing the nervous system and restoring emotional health, helping you move from a place of overwhelm to one of empowerment and vitality. If you’ve been struggling with chronic health issues and feel unheard by medical professionals, I’m here to help you find lasting relief and healing.
Integrate

At Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan, I offer a unique hybrid approach that combines the depth of psychotherapy with the practical, goal-oriented nature of coaching, providing you with a comprehensive solution for both mental health and trauma recovery.

EMDR is especially effective for healing trauma and deeply ingrained emotional wounds, allowing you to process and release past pain while building resilience. CBT works by helping you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with healthier beliefs and coping mechanisms. Together, these therapies, along with a personalized wellness plan, help you address not only the emotional aspects of mental health but also the lifestyle factors that contribute to your overall sense of well-being. You’ll leave with tangible tools, strategies, and ongoing support to navigate life’s challenges, improve your mental clarity, and build healthier habits that foster long-term growth and healing. This hybrid approach is designed to ensure you feel truly supported in your journey toward mental health and holistic wellness, helping you regain control and find lasting peace.

optimize
Natural Medicine & amino acids to improve Your brain & Mental health
Do you Feel failed by antidepressants and other psychiatric meds? Are you interested in boosting your mood and reducing your anxiety naturally? I’d like to introduce you to How Nutrition, Amino Acid Therapy, Natural Medicine & Somatic Practices can assist you in creating the optimal mental health you desire, using highly-effective alternative therapies.
More and more, patients are turning to natural treatments to increase vitality and wellness, used exclusively, or as a complement to their existing traditional medical care. Increasingly, individuals who are dissatisfied with conventional psychiatry are turning to natural and holistic ways to feel better and address their symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and depression. Current findings suggest that antidepressants work for some, but not for everyone, and unfortunately, their effects often do not last. When it comes to mental health, generally, there are multiple factors at play, including genetics, malnutrition, poor diet, hormonal imbalance, traumatic experiences, and environmental challenges, as examples.
A Licensed Mental Health Professional trained in alternative medicine is well-positioned to offer their patients support from emerging research in the fields of Functional and Integrative Medicine, aimed at naturally optimizing mental health. Suggestions for nutrition and natural remedies offer powerfully effective help for people who have not yet achieved the full alleviation of mental health symptoms from prescription medicine. It’s also a sound choice for people with mild symptoms, and for those who wish to avoid conventional psychiatry. Together, we work to identify the “root cause” underlying many common psychiatric symptoms such as ADHD, motivation, memory, anxiety, and depression.

Explore
make your unconscious known
Psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy offers insight into what you can’t always know, so your unconscious Doesn't run the show. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” —Carl Jung
Current science estimates that about 95% of our brain activity is unconscious, meaning that the majority of our behaviors, decisions, actions, conflicts, and emotions are beyond conscious awareness. The unconscious is responsible for much of our misery, unhappiness, anxiety, and depression. It is possible to have greater access to the unconscious in the service of leading a more conscious life. I offer a psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy approach to help clients understand themselves and their relationships, as well as the unconscious internal conflicts that impede them from achieving their goals and having a more satisfying life. Through this lens, we can identify and uncover the unconscious conflicts that drive us to repeat and engage in behaviors and dynamics that are an unconscious attempt to master the past but often lead to self-destructive and self-defeating behaviors. By paying close attention to and working through unconscious material, clients gain insight into current difficulties and patterns, which frees them to make important changes in their lives. This leads to lasting changes in rigid defense mechanisms, symptom reduction, and increased self-esteem and mastery. These life-enhancing changes gained in psychodynamic psychotherapy keep the conscious you in the driver’s seat more often.
This is not a short-term therapy solution, but rather an unfolding of experiences revealed in the context of the relationship between psychotherapist and patient. Because psychoanalytic psychotherapy also emphasizes how past experiences shape our present experience, the therapeutic process involves the exploration of transference (feelings that the patient has toward another person which they unconsciously redirect toward the therapist) to explore unresolved issues. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is typically used in higher-functioning patients (e.g. patients not actively suicidal, without serious substance abuse problems, and acute instability in their lives).
