Profile
You want to live deeply, embody your life, and break free from old patterns. As a creative, complex individual, you need more than just coping skills. My practice sits at the intersection of relational depth work, somatics, and experiential therapy, specializing in the resolution of relational, developmental, and intergenerational trauma. Together, we will target root causes and bridge psychological exploration with body-based tools—processing your experiences at an elemental level so you can liberate your voice and thrive.
My practice is shaped by my identity as a deeply Jewish person, alongside an extensive background in historical trauma and years of intensive clinical and artistic work with Holocaust survivors through Witness Theater. Grounded in my experience with inpatient psychiatry, drama therapy, and 20 years of teaching yoga, I offer a safe, deeply understanding container to navigate the intense complexities of Jewish identity in a post-October 7th world. I respect your full complexity and hold an expansive space to process the heavy weight of real-world and internalized antisemitism, allowing you to honor your cultural and spiritual identity without needing to over-explain your background.
In our sessions, we integrate creative, psychodynamic work with sensorimotor psychotherapy to help you unburden what blocks you, process deeply, and ground lasting change. I also support clients navigating creative and artistic challenges, deep life transitions, family estrangement, and complex identity intersections.
If you feel ready to do this deep, transformative work together, please reach out. I invite you to contact me to schedule a free initial consultation so we can connect and explore how I can support you.
