Psychotherapist providing individual therapy in New York, specializing in somatic and trauma-informed care.

Individual Therapy in NYC and Across New York and Florida

I offer psychodynamic individual therapy in NYC, integrated with somatic and trauma-informed work, in person in Midtown Manhattan and via telehealth across New York and Florida.

I work with adults navigating complex trauma, childhood sexual abuse, anxiety, burnout, and relationship patterns that feel difficult to change. I also work with male survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and with those moving through grief, loss, and major life transitions.

Many of the adults I see are thoughtful and capable. They’re able to function at work or in their daily lives, but with something unsettled beneath the surface. Many are dealing with shame, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, or a persistent sense that something isn't quite right. Others find themselves repeating the same relational dynamics, shutting down emotionally, or feeling disconnected when it comes to relationships and intimacy.

Psychodynamic therapy in NYC

In our work together, we slow down and explore how early attachment experiences, trauma, and adaptive patterns continue to shape your present life. My approach integrates psychodynamic relational therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and EMDR, working toward emotional awareness, less reactivity, and a more rooted sense of self and connection to others.

This work is depth-oriented and collaborative. It’s focused on understanding the roots of your patterns rather than managing symptoms, so that meaningful change becomes possible.

This work may be a good fit if you:

Appear “put together” but struggle with anxiety or shame
Are navigating burnout or identity strain in a demanding career
Are a survivor of complex trauma
Are healing from sexual trauma or assault
Are experiencing the impact of grief and loss
Struggle with emotional closeness, conflict, or recurring relationship issues
Are a male survivor of childhood sexual abuse carrying shame, confusion, or silence around early experiences
Have the sense that something deeper is going on, even if you can’t name it
Would prefer to work with a male therapist

Common questions about individual therapy

If something feels stuck — in your relationships, your sense of yourself, your emotional life — and understanding it better or trying harder hasn't moved it, therapy is worth considering. You don't need to be in crisis. A lot of people come in because something feels off and they can't quite name what it is. That's enough.
Psychodynamic therapy starts from the idea that early experiences, relationships, and patterns outside of our awareness continue to shape how we feel, relate, and see ourselves. Rather than only targeting symptoms, we try to understand where they come from, so change can happen at a deeper level.
In practice, that means paying attention to patterns: what keeps repeating in your relationships, what feelings are hard to access, and what shows up between us in the therapy relationship itself. It's different from more structured approaches like CBT, which focus mainly on changing thoughts and behaviors. There are no worksheets or set protocols. The work follows what feels most important to you. It tends to be longer-term, and for many people, the change it creates lasts.
A conversation. You share what's bringing you in, I listen closely and ask some questions, and we both get a sense of how this might work between us. There's no expectation that you'll have everything figured out or say everything at once. It's a chance to see if the fit feels right.
No. The work is open-ended, collaborative, and shaped by what's most alive for you in a given session rather than by a predetermined structure. No assignments between sessions and no strict protocol to follow.
Most people meet weekly. That rhythm tends to give the work enough continuity to develop. Some clients meet more than once-per-week as well. Some shift to biweekly over time as things progress. We talk about frequency and adjust it based on what makes sense for you clinically and practically.
