Expert Trauma Therapy Rooted in Depth, Integrity, and Respect

 

I’m a licensed psychologist in New York, specializing in trauma therapy for high-achieving adults — professionals, creatives, and those who feel deeply but hide it well—struggling with PTSD, complex trauma, and long-term emotional pain —  especially for those who’ve been to therapy before but never felt truly seen.

 

You may have already worked with other therapists who never quite reached the places that still hurt.

My hope is to be the last therapist you’ll need

not because I have all the answers, but because together, we can finally meet the parts of you that never had a chance to speak.

 

I bring advanced clinical training in PTSD, complex trauma, and perfectionism — paired with soul-honoring care that goes deeper than symptom management.

 

My method blends evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with metaphor, creativity, and warmth.

 

I also offer a signature method called Haunted House Therapy™ — a way to gently reclaim the rooms of your story that trauma locked away.

 

I offer trauma therapy for adults (18+) through secure telehealth across New York State. This includes NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County and Upstate New York.

Haunted House Therapy™: A Trauma-Repair Method Like No Other

What Makes This Practice Different?

  

This is not therapy as usual.

It’s deeper. Slower. Braver.

 

Haunted House Therapy™ is a trauma-repair method I developed and refined over years of clinical work with people navigating deep, layered trauma.

 

If your past still echoes in your nervous system —

through freeze, fawn, over-function, or disappear —

this approach was made for you.

 

We don’t just sweep trauma into a corner.

We walk through the house together, room by room —

until you no longer feel like a guest in your own life.

When Trauma Therapy Hasn’t Worked — and You Still Hurt

Many of the people I work with have already been in therapy — sometimes for years — and still feel like something’s missing.

You might be asking yourself:

“Why doesn’t therapy ever work for me?”

“How do I find a trauma psychologist in New York who actually helps?”

“Is there trauma therapy that goes deeper than CBT or just symptom management?”

If those questions sound familiar, Haunted House Therapy™ was made for you.

It’s not about fixing you —

it’s about reclaiming your story, your pace, and your power.
