Somatic & Inner Work · New York · Online Worldwide

Most of what limits you
made sense once.
It doesn't have to stay.

People who come here tend to take their inner life seriously. They're not strangers to self-reflection — but something keeps not quite shifting. Together we look at what's underneath, and work with it directly. The approach draws on IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and mindfulness.

What I help with

There's often a gap between what someone
says they're dealing with and what's actually there.

It's a feeling of being capable in the world but stuck in a pattern you can't reason your way out of. A conflict in an important relationship that keeps repeating. A transition that's harder than it looks on paper. A version of yourself that seems out of reach.

Repeating patterns

Emotional reactions, relational dynamics, or ways of moving through difficulty that reassert themselves despite your best efforts to change them.

Nervous system dysregulation

Chronic overactivation, shutdown, difficulty being present, or a body that seems to operate on its own logic regardless of what you think you should feel.

Inner conflict & self-sabotage

Parts of you pulling in different directions. Knowing what you want but acting against it. Behavior that doesn't match your values or intentions.

Relationships & attachment

Difficulty with closeness, recurring conflict, fear of abandonment or engulfment, navigating power dynamics in work or love.

Life transitions

Significant change—professional, relational, or existential—that requires a deeper kind of navigation than strategy alone can provide.

Identity & belonging

Questions of self, roles, and meaning—particularly for people who carry responsibility for others or who operate across different worlds.

How I work

Present, embodied, and attentive
to all your parts.

I work from multiple frameworks, chosen because together they reach more than any single approach does. What we use in any given session follows what's actually there.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS offers a detailed, non-judgmental map of how we're organized inside. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts, emotions, or behaviors, we understand what parts of you are holding them—and why. This changes the work from managing symptoms to addressing what's actually driving them.

Somatic Experiencing

Most of us have been taught to work with difficulty through language — talking about it, understanding it, reframing it. Somatic work adds another dimension: the body. I draw on Somatic Experiencing (developed by Peter Levine) as well as body-oriented methods from my training as a certified Body Therapist — because some things don't shift through words alone, no matter how clearly we see them. We work with physical sensation, impulse, and what the nervous system is actually doing — not just the story around it.

Mindfulness & presence practices

The ability to stay with difficult inner experience — without immediately reacting or shutting down — is what makes everything else in this work possible. This capacity is what mindfulness builds. Grounded in the lineage of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, and informed by years of teaching Kundalini yoga and breathwork, awareness practices here aren't supplemental — they underpin the ability to work skillfully with anything difficult.

Integrative training

I trained in body-oriented methods, CBT, EMDR, and archetypal approaches — all of which inform how I hold and navigate a session.

"The goal isn't relief from your experience. It's a different relationship to it—one that gives you more room to act, and more access to who you actually are."

Work with me

1-on-1 sessions, New York & online.

I work with a small number of clients at a time. Every working relationship begins with a conversation to understand what you're navigating and whether this approach fits.

Ongoing Work

For those ready to go deeper. We meet regularly—typically weekly—over a sustained period. This is the container in which the most significant shifts tend to happen.

Psychedelic integration support. I also offer preparation and integration support for those working with plant medicines or psychedelic-assisted experiences—framed within a professional, evidence-informed context. This is available as a standalone focus or as part of ongoing work, and is subject to a brief intake process.

About

The work chose me
as much as I chose it.

I spent fifteen years as an international model — working the major fashion weeks, shooting for some of the world's most recognized brands, walking for the most celebrated designers. It's a world that rewards performance over presence, and trains you to be seen without being known. That experience gave me a thorough education in self-image, the cost of disconnection, and what it actually takes to come back to yourself.

My training since then has been deliberate. I've studied Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and completed a Mindfulness Mentor Training with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I've taught Kundalini yoga for five years, facilitated group breathwork, and spent time in the Amazon with Shipibo maestros — all of which inform how I understand what it means to work with a whole person.

I've also held workshops at NYU and the China Institute in New York.

This work isn't coaching and it isn't clinical therapy. It sits in the space between — and it goes deep into the root of things, helping you embody your wholeness.
