“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being”
Hi,
I am a holistic health practitioner and pre-licensed psychotherapist in New York City. I am inspired by exploring my own inner world and helping clients to do the same. To me, diminishing someone’s condition to “anxiety” or “depression” and applying behavioral techniques is often a disservice and misses everything else that has led the person to this point. These diagnoses and treatments, rooted in a Western medical model, restrict a person to what can be readily understood, focusing on the conscious thoughts/feelings when we are much more than just those things.
I love getting to know and work with a person’s depth, to help them gain insight and know themselves better. I specialize in helping clients understand trauma’s impact and leading effective trauma resolution. Even bad things that have happened that might not be thought of as “big T” trauma are unconsciously impacting us, and together we can address all of it. To do this, I draw from Jungian/depth psychotherapy, somatic awareness, and EMDR. These modalities make use of our own inner ability to heal, so that you can be the hero of your own journey, not me.
My own personal process consists primarily of Jungian analysis, Reiki, and Zen Buddhist practice.
