Trauma Therapy

Feeling alone and unseen in your pain? You’re not broken — you’re wounded. And healing is possible.

You’re not broken — you’re wounded. And healing is possible.

When you’ve experienced trauma, it’s not uncommon to feel isolated, overwhelmed, or like no one truly understands what you’ve been through. You may put up emotional walls to protect yourself — yet find yourself easily frustrated, irritated, or flooded by emotion.

Trauma shines a light on the very wounds we’ve tried to avoid, deny, or suppress.

Your first instinct may be to shut down or disconnect, avoiding the pain by not asking for or receiving the support you need. But this self-protection can leave you feeling cut off — not only from others, but from yourself. Without realizing it, you may begin to turn your anger inward or numb yourself completely, imploding emotionally or spiritually.

The root of all addictions is trauma.
Whether through alcohol, food, sex, porn, work, or other compulsions — these are often attempts to soothe, distract, or escape what you’re feeling inside. But healing doesn’t happen through avoidance. It happens when the root is addressed. The grave clothes come off when you choose to no longer neglect yourself.

Healing happens from the inside out.

Giving yourself the care and attention you’ve needed — maybe for years — is a courageous first step toward restoration. Trauma recovery work offers a safe, grounded space where you can begin to be again… to feel, process, and make sense of your emotions, and reclaim your voice and identity.

You will be met with calm, compassionate guidance and emotional attunement in a peaceful, private, pet-friendly space — not a sterile clinic — where healing can happen naturally, from the inside out. We will begin this journey together, and you will no longer be alone in your pain. I will be with you.

Your body remembers what your mind had to forget.

As a trauma survivor, you may not have clear memories of what happened. That’s because trauma is often stored in implicit memory — experienced more as physical sensations than conscious recollections. Your body remembers what your nervous system couldn’t process at the time.

You may have no words for your feelings because your body is still in protection mode.

These survival responses — Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Submit — often continue long after the danger has passed. Your nervous system may remain on high alert, reacting to everyday life as if you’re still in danger. But here’s the good news:

Therapy can help your brain and body begin to respond differently — with calm instead of shutdown, connection instead of collapse.

You are not too damaged to heal.

In the wake of trauma, feelings of guilt, shame, or even self-loathing often take root. These are not who you are — they are symptoms of what happened to you.

That’s why the space we create together is so important.
I work with clients in a warm, home office in Tribeca — not a medical or clinical setting. This soothing and sacred space fosters calm, safety, and presence — essential ingredients for healing. Mercy Shalom, my sweet dog, may also be present, offering gentle comfort along the way.

This work is relational, real, and restorative.

Compassion, truth, and the undoing of aloneness are essential for healing. Together, we’ll create a collaborative relationship built on trust, emotional attunement, and spiritual integrity.

You’ll be supported in feeling heard, seen, and felt — maybe for the first time.

Our early work will focus not just on the roots of your trauma, but on how that trauma is showing up now — in your relationships, your self-talk, your body, and your daily life. We’ll also give space to what feels good and safe as a foundation for growth.

Emotions are slow.
So we’ll move slowly — building insight, safety, and a deeper sense of self at a pace that honors your story.

Over time, you will begin to experience and process emotions with curiosity and compassion, rather than condemnation or collapse. Instead of being hijacked by your emotions, you’ll learn to regulate them — and even welcome them as messengers, not threats

.What Therapy With Me Feels Like

My style is warm, grounded, and deeply attuned to you. I create a safe, quiet space where you can begin to feel what’s been too hard to feel alone — at a pace that feels right for you. Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and heard for the first time here, because I listen not just to your words, but to what your heart has been carrying.

I bring both honesty and compassion into our work — gently naming what keeps you stuck, while holding hope for who you are becoming. Whether you’re a man unsure how to open up, a woman finding her voice again, or a family longing to feel connected, I meet you where you are with care and respect. My hope is that you come to see yourself not as broken, but as someone with courage, dignity, and the ability to heal — and I’ll walk with you every step of the way.

If you’re ready to begin, you can contact me here or call me directly at (212) 349-6544. I look forward to meeting you.

You were never meant to carry this alone. And you no longer have to.

Let’s begin this healing journey together.
