About Me & My Approach
My philosophy is simple: The mind and body is designed to heal itself, and it needs only the proper awareness and fine-tuning in order to achieve this.
I use a collaborative, eclectic approach that draws from many disciplines including, but not limited to psychodynamics, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, evolutionary biology, Somatic Experience, and Internal Family Systems.
For over 20 years, I have worked with adults, children, families and couples in helping them stay grounded, tell their stories, and heal themselves from the various traumas and difficulties of modern life.
I have held positions in inner-city pubic schools, first as a teacher then as a community-based social worker/psychotherapist.
From 2012-2016, I authored the Mental Wellness column for DNAinfo.com, a ground-breaking New York City news website.
