Grounded in rigor
Open to wonder
welcome
Therapy can be a place to rebuild trust in yourself, your relationships, and your capacity for change.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation
If you’re navigating grief, midlife transition, caregiving stress, stuck relationship patterns, or the feeling that you’ve outgrown old ways of being, therapy can be a place to slow down, tell the truth, and take your next step with more clarity and choice.
I work with adults, couples, and families, with a particular focus on queer adults, queer couples, and queer families. I also specialize in OCD and intrusive thoughts, especially when shame or uncertainty has started to shrink your life. Trauma may be part of your history, and we’ll make room for it in ways that feel steady and workable.
My practice is queer-affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in clinical rigor. My style is warm, direct, and thoughtful, with room for humor, metaphor, and meaning-making along the way.
are you a couple, family or individual SEEKING THERAPY? start here:
FAMILY Therapy
Family therapy that honors complexity
Families are ecosystems, and in family therapy we slow down to notice patterns, name what hurts, and understand how dynamics have taken shape over time. This isn’t about blame, but about seeing each other more clearly, so that change becomes possible, whether that means repairing old wounds, setting firmer boundaries, or shifting long-standing roles.
I integrate somatic insight, narrative therapy, and evidence-based approaches to help families navigate challenges around gender, queer identity, conflict, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences. The work can be tender, direct, and sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s always grounded in the belief that families can learn to relate in more honest, steadier ways.
SUPPORT GROUPS
The power of witnessing and being witnessed.
In group, you can share your story while hearing others’ experiences. Through connection and community, real shifts can begin. Together, we notice what’s here and now: how you relate, where you get stuck, what lingers, and how your nervous system responds. You’ll learn from others’ questions, feel validated by shared experience, and grow through real-time dynamics.
We draw on somatic practices, expressive work, and evidence-based tools. But most of the work happens between people, in presence, in reflection, and in those quiet moments when something just clicks.
individual Therapy
Individual therapy for the deeply human work of change
I offer individual therapy that blends clinical insight with somatic, narrative, and expressive practices. Together, we’ll slow down to notice patterns, listen to your nervous system cues, and put words to the stories that shape how you move through the world. This is the groundwork for change that feels real and lasting.
Whether you’re navigating grief and loss, identity shifts, midlife transition, OCD and intrusive thoughts, or the sense that you’ve simply outgrown old ways of being, our work will focus on expanding your capacity for choice and deepening your understanding of yourself. Together, we’ll build steadier ground beneath you, so you can relate to your life with greater integrity, agency, and meaning, and make changes that actually hold.
Couples Therapy
Structured support for connection, repair, and intimacy
At Psyche Soma Practice, I help couples deepen their connection through evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, integrated with somatic awareness, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll slow down to notice patterns, nervous system cues, and the shared stories that shape your relationship, including the ones you inherited, and the ones you’ve built together.
This work is about making space for truth, whether that means building intimacy, repairing after rupture, navigating conflict more skillfully, or finding a new way to relate that actually fits who you are now. It’s structured, collaborative support for showing up with more honesty, steadiness, and choice, with room for warmth, humor, and real life.
(SOME) AREAS OF EXPERIENCE
These are some of the experiences I regularly support individuals, couples, and families in navigating, with a focus on clinical care, relational insight, and thoughtful integration.
Midlife Transition + Meaning
Navigating shifts in identity, relationships, purpose, and the changing seasons of adult life. Let's find space to reflect, grieve what’s ending, and continue build a life that feels more honest, alive, and yours.
Grief + Bereavement
Support for grief and bereavement with nervous-system awareness, meaning-making, and real relational steadiness. We make space for the waves as they come, without rushing or pathologizing your love.
OCD + Intrusive Thoughts
Evidence-based therapy for intrusive thoughts, compulsions, checking, contamination fears, moral or relationship obsessions, and the reassurance loops that shrink your life. We focus on building flexibility, confidence, and a way forward that isn’t ruled by rituals or doubt.
Queer Adults, Couples, + Families
Affirming care for queer adults, queer couples, and queer families navigating identity, intimacy, conflict, community, discrimination, and living authentically in a grounded, thoughtful, and deeply human ways. I also support family members navigating a loved one’s coming out or gender transition.
Intergenerational Trauma
Immigration + Acculturation
Exploring how family legacies, cultural histories, and inherited pain show up in the present. We’ll look at what you’ve carried, what you want to keep, and what to release.
Support for newcomers and first- or second-generation immigrants navigating belonging, identity, family dynamics, intergenerational conflict, and building a life between cultures.
Attachment + Relational Repair
Jewish Mental Health
Attachment-focused therapy for individuals, partners, and families who want more trust, steadiness, and closeness. We name the old patterns, work with what’s underneath them, and build new ways of relating that actually hold up in real life.
Holding space for Jewish identity, family legacy, belonging, and the emotional impact of antisemitism. Space for cultural and spiritual questions, intergenerational pain, and reconnecting with tradition in a way that feels real.
Perinatal + Reproductive
Health SUPPORT
Perinatal mental health is an area of deep expertise for me, and I offer this work selectively for complex transitions including grief and loss, birth trauma, identity shifts, and queer family-building during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
I specialize in queer family-building, including donor conception, IUI/IVF, reciprocal IVF, surrogacy, pregnancy and postpartum support, and care for non-gestational parents. I also support clients navigating birth trauma, perinatal grief and loss, and the relational impact of betrayal, rupture, or trauma during pregnancy or postpartum—experiences that can profoundly reshape identity, partnerships, and a sense of safety.
I offer reproductive mental health support for clients navigating reproductive and hormonal transitions. This includes support related to PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, chronic pelvic pain, perimenopause, menopause, and other reproductive health conditions that impact mood, identity, relationships, and quality of life. This work is often depth-oriented and integrative, attending to the psychological, relational, and meaning-making dimensions of living in a body shaped by cyclical change, medical intervention, social conditioning or ongoing uncertainty.
Short-term therapy is designed to offer focused, structured support for a specific concern within a defined time frame. This can be a good fit if you want depth with a clear arc, are working toward a particular goal, or want to build skills and momentum without committing to open-ended weekly therapy. This work can stand alone or complement your current longer-term therapy. Click below to learn more:
