I work with adults and couples, offering mental health counseling services from a trauma-informed and collaborative stance. I use experiential approaches that foster self-examination and self-compassion, on the one hand, and that facilitate growth (reflected in behavioral change or a shift of attitudes or mindset). I work with clients (age: 21+) interested in emotional self-regulation, in learning and practicing assertive and mindful communication, and who look forward to the gradual embodying of their therapeutic learning.

Welcome! I work with clients who struggle with the psychological, emotional, and physical consequences of past and or ongoing trauma, as they try to avoid repeating personal and professional mistakes that only worsen their experiences. If these challenges sound familiar, I can help you process your trauma in a supportive, validating environment, that is empowering and ultimately freeing.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years, working with individuals couples and families. I work with individuals and families dealing with a wide range of issues, and with both traditional and non traditional families. Who ever I am working with, I pay attention to the context of people's lives and the importance of the significant relationships in our lives. As a family and couple therapist I work with the ways our interaction patterns serve to promote healing, and the ways that those patterns help to maintain problems. In difficult times both individuals and families can become focused on their problems, and the more positive parts of our lives can become diminished. I think that one of the important tasks of therapy is to help people to focus on and utilize their strengths and resources

From a heartfelt place, I mirror back each person's beauty and potential. With intention, attention, skill and humor, I facilitate the process that allows each person to become more of her/his authentic self and to manifest that self into the world.

As a practicing board-certified art therapist and licensed professional counselor, I offer an individualized and integrative approach based upon your needs. I provide psychotherapeutic services drawn from a variety of psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive approaches that utilize both verbal and non-verbal forms of self-expression. Art therapy can provide a safe outlet for expressing emotions. I value guiding individuals toward developing connections and insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and creating new spaces for healing through authentic, supportive dialogue. Emotions can be difficult to express, feel and identify- and it can be difficult to navigate them on our own.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice with nearly 20 years of clinical experience providing therapy for adults and couples throughout New York State. I work with individuals who often appear highly capable and successful on the outside, yet privately struggle with anxiety and mood difficulties, emotional overwhelm, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout, chronic stress, or a persistent sense of feeling stuck, despite insight and previous therapy. Many of the people I work with are accustomed to functioning at a high level in their personal or professional lives. They may understand their patterns intellectually, yet continue to experience the same emotional reactions, relationship dynamics, or internal struggles that seem resistant to change. Therapy can become most valuable when understanding alone is no longer enough. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in current neuroscience, recognizing that emotional difficulties are often held not only in thoughts, but also in the nervous system, relationships, and lived experience. Rather than applying a single method to every person, treatment is individualized and may draw from psychodynamic therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation strategies. I believe meaningful therapy extends beyond symptom reduction. While many people seek relief from anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, or relationship conflict, my goal is to help create deeper and more enduring change, greater self-understanding, improved relationships, increased emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to yourself. I also work with couples seeking relationship therapy around communication difficulties, recurring conflict, betrayal and trust concerns, life transitions, and relational patterns that create distance or disconnection. I offer online therapy throughout New York State and provide both short-term focused work and longer-term psychotherapy, depending on your needs. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, but it can also be the start of meaningful and lasting change.

My name is Lucy, and I’m a Gestalt therapist and Level 1 internal family systems (IFS) therapist practicing in New York and Washington. My practice is open to individuals, couples, and non-monogamous and poly relationships. I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and experientially oriented therapist, and I support clients of all genders, sexualities, bodies, and racial and cultural identities. I specialize in supporting clients who want to address attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and its impacts on daily living and relationships, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, emotional and nervous system dysregulation, trauma, religious trauma, grief and loss, attachment wounds, life and relational transitions, and gender-affirming care and sexuality exploration. I utilize a non-pathologizing model, treating your lived experience with compassion and an understanding of systemic impacts in order to build internal ease. I’m currently 100% virtual and use telehealth to support our work together. I’m a firm believer that we all deserve a place to feel loved, supported, acknowledged, fought for, , above all, celebrated. We have an incredible and powerful ability to learn, heal, grow, and thrive when given a chance, or when we give ourselves permission to acknowledge our own fears, patterns, and shame, and then take a leap to move through them toward healing. My approach recognizes internal challenges as well as the world’s impact on you, and I meet you where you’re at with compassion, acceptance, care, mindfulness, and a bit of humor. We are products of our environment, our families, and our ancestral history, and within the therapeutic space, we can support the past, recognize its effect in the present, , with awareness, support changes for the future.

In high-stakes environments getting over it is not a strategy, it is a liability. True resilience is not found in suppressing stress, but in mastering the nervous system that governs your decision-making, creativity, and presence. While traditional talk therapy addresses the mind, complex stress and burnout are physiological. They reside in the nervous system, areas often inaccessible to logic and conversation alone. I provide a sophisticated, integrative approach for individuals who require more than just a sounding board. I integrate Somatic Experiencing with Creative Arts Therapy to bridge the gap between cognitive insight and physical regulation. We move beyond survival mode and into a state of expanded capacity. This is not about fixing what is broken; it is about optimizing your internal architecture for connection, resilience, and sustained ease. Core Areas of Expertise Executive Burnout & Nervous System Regulation: Rewiring a system stuck in high-cortisol fight or flight to restore mental clarity and physical vitality. Relational Intelligence & Boundaries: Navigating complex interpersonal dynamics and attachment patterns to enhance both professional and private leadership. High-Stakes Transitions: Maintaining an internal home and sense of self during significant career pivots, identity shifts, or personal loss. Complex Trauma Resolution: Utilizing a paced, somatic approach to process deep-seated wounds without compromising your daily functioning. Our work is collaborative, discreet, and highly specialized. Whether we are utilizing movement to release chronic tension or creative visualization to solve unspoken blocks, the process is tailored to your specific pace and lifestyle. We do not just discuss your narrative; we transform the physical experience of your life.
