”Reauthor the story told & find your harmonic thread home.” ~
You’ve taken a courageous step towards understanding your challenges, seeking peace in uncertainty, and reclaiming your sovereignty. Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, addiction, existential dread, or a quiet ache you can't quite name, I understand the strain felt when parts of you seem so fragmented and disconnected. The good news is: you are not broken, and all parts of you are welcome here. You don’t have to stay stuck in old narratives that no longer serve you. I believe in your capacity to rewrite your story in a way that aligns with your values, fosters connection, reclaims your voice, and restores a sense of wholeness.
My approach is collaborative and integrative, incorporating mind, body, spirit, and all things relational. I blend Existential, IFS, and Narrative Therapies, with Somatic processing and Buddhist philosophy in a way that is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and thoughtful inquiry. I also specialize in vocal activation and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy.
You don’t have to go it alone. Whether you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or just longing for a place to exhale and be fully seen, therapy can be a path back toward yourself. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can weave the patterned tapestry of your life- the threads of hurt, the threads of hope- and find a Harmonic Thread home.

My Approach
An Integrative, Collaborative, Soul-Centered Process
My style is warm, intuitive, and relational. Together, we’ll co-create a therapeutic space that honors your story, your rhythm, and your values- weaving together multiple modalities to support your healing in a way that feels resonant and real.
Some days may feel deeply somatic and emotional; other sessions may involve practical tools, inner child work, dreamwork, or exploring interpersonal patterns. I hold your trust preciously and respect the autonomy of your consent every step of the way.
What to Expect in Therapy
-
We’ll begin with a 15–20 minute phone or video call to:
Talk about what’s bringing you to therapy
Answer your questions about my approach
See if our styles feel like a good fit
There’s no pressure to decide on the spot. You’re welcome to take time before scheduling your first session.
-
Your first 60-minute session is about getting the lay of the land:
Exploring your history, current concerns, and hopes for therapy
Identifying key themes or challenges you want to address
Beginning to establish a sense of trust and safety
We’ll also discuss practical details such as session frequency, confidentiality, and payment. You will need to complete and sign a number of forms before we begin to ensure the sanctity of the space.
-
The early weeks are about creating a solid, safe base for the work:
Getting to know how you think, feel, and relate — and how your body responds to stress and safety. This may take some time.
Exploring what “home” feels like for you so we can build a compass for your healing
Introducing somatic and mindfulness tools you can use outside of session
-
Therapy is rarely linear — some sessions may feel emotional and deeply internal, others more structured and practical. Depending on your needs, we might:
Process, practice being with, and release unresolved emotions
Identify and shift limiting beliefs or patterns utilizing CBT tools
Explore and re-author your story through Narrative Therapy
Work with parts of Self (IFS or R-CS) and relational dynamics
Integrate creative or somatic practices like vocal activation, breath-work, or dream analysis
Integrate mindfulness tools and Buddhist philosophy frameworks that assist in alleviating suffering and strengthening equinimity
-
As we work together, you may notice:
Feeling more connected to yourself and your values
More resilience in relationships and life challenges
A deeper mind-body-soul alignment
Confidence in your ability to find and return to “home” when life feels overwhelming
We’ll periodically reflect on what’s shifting and whether your goals have evolved.
-
Sometimes therapy is complete; sometimes it changes form. If you decide to pause or end our work together, we’ll:
Reflect on your growth and insights
Identify tools and practices you’ll carry forward
Make a plan for returning if needed in the future

My Work Is…
I offer services in both English and French
Integrative — drawing from Narrative, Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Recreation of Self (R-CS), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Interpersonal therapies.
Holistic — working with mind, body, heart, and spirit to foster connection and wholeness. Drawing from Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Hanna Somatic Movement, and Existential Therapies..
Trauma-Informed — honoring nervous system regulation, pacing, and safety.
Multicultural — drawing from Eastern and Western philosophies, Northern and Southern traditions.
Relational & Collaborative — centering the therapeutic relationship as a space for trust, exploration, and co-creation, as a means to heal and replicate healthy relationships outside of the therapeutic setting.
Voice-Centered — for those interested, integrating vocal activation as a pathway to expression, empowerment, and release.
Out of Network?
No problem.

FAQs
Q: Do I need to have a diagnosis to work with you?
A: No. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Some clients come with a clear understanding of what they want to work on; others simply feel “off” or stuck and are looking for support in finding their way forward.
Q: How often do we meet?
A: Most clients start with weekly sessions to build trust and continuity. Over time, some shift to bi-weekly or less frequent sessions depending on their needs and goals. We can discuss what works best for you.
Q: What is your approach to therapy?
A: I take an integrative, relational, and trauma-informed approach — drawing from Internal Family Systems, Recreation of Self, Narrative Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, CBT tools, and mindfulness-based practices. I also offer creative and body-based methods such as voicework, shadow work, and dream analysis.
Q: Do you offer in-person sessions?
A: Yes! I have an office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In fact, I highly recommend in-person sessions so that we can develop a more human-to-human connection and work with the body. We can always chose to move to virtual sessions thereafter or a hybrid schedule. However, if this is not possible for you, I also provide secure virtual sessions as an alternative. For children, depending on age, I generally require that they attend sessions in person.
Q: What is your fee?
A: My fee is $225 for a 50 minute session. I am only in network with Aetna, but I do work with other insurance companies if you have out-of-network benefits. It’s easy to check, and the process is streamlined to make reimbursement to you quick. Check here. If you are limited to out-of-pocket, I also have a limited number of sliding-scale openings available- please don’t hesitate to ask. I am passionate about keeping therapy affordable.
Q: How will I know if we’re a good fit?
A: The best way to know is to have a conversation. I offer a free consultation so we can discuss your goals, answer any questions, and see if my approach resonates with you.
Q: How long will I need to be in therapy?
A: It varies. Some clients work with me for a few months around a specific goal; others stay for a year or more as part of ongoing personal growth. We’ll check in regularly to make sure the work is supporting you in meaningful ways.
Q: Do you take insurance?
A: I do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to get partial reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits. I can provide the necessary documentation to submit to your insurance provider.
Q: What kinds of issues do you work with?
A: I work with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, existential distress, and navigating life transitions. I also specialize in integrative work that includes somatic therapy, vocal activation, dreamwork, and psychedelic assisted therapy and integration.
Q: What happens in the first session?
A: Our first session is about getting to know you — your history, what’s bringing you in, and what you hope to get from therapy. It’s also an opportunity for you to get a feel for my style and see if it feels like a supportive fit.
