Every life is an unfolding story, a unique, dynamic, sacred story that is open to interpretation, especially your own. As an holistic psychotherapist, workshop facilitator, published author, and “deep soul diver,” I help people find their authentic voice so they can rewrite old self-defeating scripts, and create a life that both honors and expresses their deeper needs, values, and gifts in their personal and professional relationships. PSYCHOTHERAPY: I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) psychotherapist with the Psychotherapy and Spirituality Institute. Serving all of NY state via tele-health, with limited office visits in NYC and the Hudson Valley, I see adults of all ages managing difficult transitions. As a spiritually-oriented therapist, I consider myself a midwife of sorts, helping people navigate the narrow bridge of difficult life transitions and give birth to more fulfilled version of themselves. In addition to Internal Family Systems, I integrate my knowledge of the enneagram, Jungian archetypes, Focusing, CBT, tapping, psychodynamics, and narrative therapy. I also enjoy helping people get clarity around their identity and personal beliefs as pertains to religion, spirituality, and existential angst. WORKSHOPS: For the past 15 years, I have offered a variety of self discovery writing workshops at such venues as the New York Open Center, the 92nd Street Y, the JCC of Manhattan, Trinity Wall Street, Vassar College, and Sivananda Yoga Ashram in the Bahamas. I have also lectured on the spirituality of crisis and conflict at NYU’s Post-Graduate certificate program in Social Work and Spiritual Care and PSI’s Summer Certificate Program in Spiritually Informed Psychotherapies, and on the Enneagram and Empathy at Alephi University. More recently, I began offering IFS Writing Labs that help people access more self compassion and curiosity towards different parts of themselves. PUBLICATIONS: I am the author of Step Out of Your Story: Writing Exercises to Reframe and Transform Your Life (New World Library, 2016). You can also read my blog "The Novel Perspective" on Psychology Today. ONLINE COURSE: My self-paced online DailyOm course, Reframing Your Narrative About Challenging Relationships, offers perspective-bending writing exercises including IFS-inspired dialogues with triggered parts. For as little as $19, you will receive a weekly lesson with writing exercises and meditations. SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: I am available for speaking engagements and corporate workshops.
