About Me
I’m a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and somatic healing. Inspired by the transformative power of meditation and compassionate self-awareness, I integrate evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, CBT, and the Gottman Method to support personalized, effective care.
As a dual US–UK citizen, I bring an international, culturally responsive perspective to my work. I support clients navigating identity, acculturation, and life transitions, with a nuanced understanding of cross-cultural experiences and the emotional complexities of migration.
Credentials and Creative Niche:
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in NY + Fl
Certified Brainspotting Therapist & Consultant
EMDR training via the Parnell Institute
Advanced trauma training centering healing through attunement, unique context, embodied experience, & nervous system support
Experienced supporting artists & performers, founders, & creative professionals across creative industries
My approach integrates neuroscience, psychology, and somatic tools to support trauma healing and nervous system regulation. Through a heart-centered, mind-body process, I work directly with the brain and body to address the underlying imprints of trauma, helping to shift patterns at their root, not just manage symptoms.
I specialize in supporting creatives navigating blocks, imposter syndrome, performance anxiety, and the pressure to produce, guiding them from stress and self-doubt toward greater freedom, flow, and authentic expression.
I offer personalized care tailored to your nervous system, personal history, and lived experience. Together, we will gently unwind old patterns, regulate the nervous system, and create space for healing, clarity, and expansion.

Brainspotting is a neurobiological framework for healing trauma and emotionally charged experiences that are stored in the brain and body.
Brainspotting can help you deeply process and fully release the negative thoughts, unhealthy coping, emotional pain, and difficult past experiences that keep you from thriving in the present. Using specific eye positions connected to subcortical activation, Brainspotting allows the nervous system to self-scan and process unresolved stress or trauma. It’s a deeply attuned, bottom-up and inside-out method, working directly with the body’s natural capacity for regulation and repair.
-
Expand artistry and wellbeing with psychotherapy tailored for creatives and leaders.
Somatic modalities like Brainspotting can help heal performance issues - expanding full potential, flow states and possibilities. Brainspotting restores spontaneous expression by dissolving tension patterns that once served protection but now limit presence, removing interference so that creativity can flow.
-
Release the weight of the past and step fully into the present.
Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based, highly effective modality designed to treat the traumas that often underlie anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, low self esteem, and many other difficulties. EMDR can help you reprocess the past and increase nervous system safety. It is also a great way to help build confidence and enhance performance.

Brainspotting is a powerful support in psychedelic integration, helping clients gently access and process the emotional and somatic material that may surface before, during, and after a psychedelic experience.
By attuning to where the body holds the felt-sense and activation of the experience, Brainspotting allows insights, memories, and sensations from the journey to be integrated even more deeply at the nervous-system level. This approach can support meaning-making, emotional regulation, and a sense of grounding. Clients are able to embody, integrate and even expand on the growth, clarity, and deep healing that emerged during their original experience.
-
Work creatively and collaboratively in a supportive, affirming space where your identity and experiences are respected and celebrated.
Together, we’ll create a safe environment in which you can speak freely, explore your fears, hopes, dreams, and goals, and discover new ways to connect with your authentic self. Whether you’re navigating coming out, relationships or finding community, transitions, or the everyday challenges of being yourself in the world, this is a place for healing, growth, and empowerment.
