Together.

I avoid cook book treatment models.

There are so many ways to feel and do better in life that we don’t even know them all. We will work together to address your goals for investing time and energy in therapy— determine what modality will suit you best— and go with that.

I help adults heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, CPTSD, and chronic stress through evidence-based, body-centered therapy.

I specialize in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), somatic therapy, and the Alexander Technique to support nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and lasting resilience. My approach is grounded in the belief that the body has an inherent capacity to heal when given the right support.

Together, we’ll reduce emotional reactivity, process trauma, increase body awareness, and build a greater sense of safety, balance, and self-trust. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and able to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence.

I have been in private practice since 2003. I graduated with a Master's Degree from Yale University in 1988 and took clinical training at Yale-New Haven Hospital in various capacities, including as a hospital chaplain. I have enjoyed a broad range of experience working with adults, families, and adolescents at all American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) levels of care.

I specialized as a substance abuse clinician at the beginning of 1991 when starting as a research associate in addiction medicine at The Yale Psychiatric Institute in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale Medical School.

While there, I was involved in various projects, including the development of a medical detoxification protocol for opiate dependence and an interdepartmental study with the Yale Child Study Center for children who had been exposed to cocaine in utero. 

In addition to my clinical license, I am certified as a yoga instructor with Yoga Alliance, Reiki Master Teacher, as an Advanced Sound Healing practitioner. Most of my guests are offered deep brain reorienting, a method that provides profound and lasting shifts in emotional regulation and an overall sense of well-being. I look forward to being of service to you.
