You don’t have to be in crisis for therapy to be useful. If you’re noticing patterns you can’t seem to shift, feeling more anxious, stuck, or numb than you’d like, navigating a transition, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply — those are all real and worthy reasons. A free consultation call is a low-stakes way to explore it.

It’s a brief, free phone call. You’ll share a bit about what’s bringing you in, get a feel for each other, and figure out if it’s a good fit. We’ll also cover availability and logistics.

Sessions are 45 minutes. I meet with clients on a weekly basis — this kind of regular contact, especially at the start of treatment, allows the work to build and deepen over time.

I offer early morning slots before work and evening appointments after work, as well as daytime hours.

Both. I see clients in person at Intuitive Healing Psychotherapy in Midtown Manhattan, and online via secure telehealth across New York State.

I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. I can provide superbills (detailed receipts) that you can submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement if you have out-of-network mental health benefits. I recommend using the tool at the bottom of this link to check your benefits and/or calling the number on the back of your insurance card to ask specifically about your out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage. Many plans cover 60-80% of session costs.

I hold a limited number of need-based, sliding-scale spots and update availability as space becomes available. If cost is a barrier and you feel we’d be a strong fit, please mention it when you reach out.

IFS stands for Internal Family Systems — a well-researched, compassionate approach to therapy. The core idea is that the mind is made of many parts, each with its own perspective, fears, and intentions — and that healing happens not by fighting or silencing difficult parts, but by understanding what they’re protecting.In session, we might get curious about the part of you that shuts down in conflict, or the one that can’t stop achieving, or the one that feels impossible to quiet. This work tends to feel both surprisingly gentle and profound.

Somatic therapy integrates awareness of the body into the therapeutic process. Rather than only talking about an experience, we also pay attention to what’s happening physically — sensation, breath, posture, areas of tension or numbness — because the body often holds what words can’t quite reach yet.As a yoga therapist in training with 450+ hours of certification in trauma-informed yoga, polyvagal theory, and somatic practices, I bring this lens in with care and at your pace. It can look like slowing down enough to notice what your body is already telling you.
