Relational & Trauma Therapy

Depth-oriented therapy for adults and couples facing relationship challenges, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions in NYC and across New York State

You’re stuck in patterns of doubting yourself while others see you as "put together"

You struggle with relationship insecurity, whether in your personal life or at work/school, leaving you disconnected and run down

On the inside, you feel a deep sense of emptiness, unworthiness, or the exhaustion of constantly second-guessing your own value

If you’re worrying about how you’re being perceived by others, you’re likely wishing you could just express yourself freely

Persistent anxiety, rumination, shame, and relational stuckness are often signals of deeper, unprocessed core wounds
Depth-oriented therapy, which includes approaches like psychoanalytic therapy and “parts-work”/internal family systems (IFS), allows you to understand the why behind your patterns while creating space for the how of change
It’s not as focused on managing symptoms as it is about understanding and integrating the parts of you that operate unconsciously and leave you repeating the same patterns
This type of therapy helps you move toward a life that feels authentic and worthwhile
Integrating somatic work allows us to connect your mind and body and to work at a pace that respects your nervous system, ensuring that deep exploration never comes at the cost of your current stability

Integrating Relational Psychoanalysis, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic work allows us to look at:

The Image of "Having it All Together": Moving past the external perception to address internal emptiness and the toll of being on constant high alert
Relational Patterns: Breaking cycles of insecurity in romantic, family, and professional relationships
Grief, Loss, & Transition: Navigating the complexities of loss, whether of a person, a life/career path, or a version of yourself
Identity & Expansive Relationships: Providing a knowledgeable and affirming space for the LGBTQ+, kink, and poly/CNM communities

The first step is an initial low-pressure conversation to see if we’re a good fit for your goals.
