Hello! With a background as a drama therapist, therapeutic theatre director and 20 years of teaching yoga, mindfulness and teacher trainings, my approach to therapy is first and foremost relational, experiential, and multidisciplinary. I tend to work with creative, thoughtful folks who have experienced relational, developmental, or intergenerational trauma, to clarify and strengthen their connection to self, body, and relationships. My work is attachment focused, and unites body and mind, cultural and spiritual identities. My aim is to help you unburden what blocks you so that you can embody your most liberated life.

I have worked for many years with Holocaust survivors and high school students as a drama therapist, facilitating an intergenerational program that combines group therapy, drama therapy, and culminates in an original performance about the survivor’s lives. Within this program I work closely with survivors to author a script based on their lives, and guide them to co-direct the performance alongside me. I have worked with survivors whose stories have included the most intense of human rights violations, working to use theatre as a means to, sometimes for the first time, share their history. I have also led workshops on the transmission of intergenerational trauma, processing antisemitism and internalized antisemitism. 

Additionally, I have eight years of experience working on inpatient psychiatry in Brooklyn and Manhattan, having treated patients from every culture and background. As someone who is both an observant, spiritual Jew as well as someone who has taken deep dives into Eastern spirituality and practice, I have an expansive understanding of how to hold complex cosmologies and understandings of mental health. 

I have somatic/trauma training from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, years of training in historical trauma/intercultural conflict, and work with a relational process culled from drama therapy approaches and modern analysis. In sessions I use storytelling, psychodramatic interventions, somatic meditations, and work with metaphor, symbols, roles/characters, scripts, writing, and music. It would be an honor to work with you 🙂
