My Approach to Therapy

When internal emotions or external stressors begin to take over, finding a clear path forward is essential. I am a licensed integrative psychotherapist providing specialized trauma therapy and digital wellness care for adults across New York. Drawing on nearly 30 years of clinical experience, I integrate psychodynamic psychotherapy with advanced neurobiological models, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), and somatic experiencing (SEP), to treat trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and compulsive technology overuse. As the founder and director of The Technology Treatment Practice, I provide specialized clinical programs for technology overuse and digital burnout. This clinical framework blends traditional psychotherapy with somatic therapy to promote sustainable wellness and overall mental health support. Treatment options include individual therapy, group cohorts, and clinical intensives, delivered through a hybrid model of in-person and secure telehealth sessions.

My Practice & Services

The Technology Treatment Practice is a specialized psychotherapeutic practice for adults experiencing problematic technology use, as well as a dedicated clinical resource for healthcare providers. The practice was founded with a three-fold mission: Adult Clinical Care: To provide specialized individual therapy, intensives, and structured group cohorts for adults managing technology overuse, compulsive use, and addiction. Provider Education: To offer training and clinical seminars for primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and health professionals. Clinical Consultation: To deliver expert case consultation and mentoring for licensed mental health practitioners.

RECLAIM YOUR ATTENTION. REBALANCE YOUR LIFE.

Do you ever go online to quickly check something and then discover that hours have passed? Do you use screens when you want to relax, or escape from your daily concerns? Whether you are dealing with the exhaustion of technology burnout, struggling to break compulsive screen habits, or fighting what feels like a technology addiction, lasting change is possible. Specialized individual therapy, structured group cohort programs, and tailored clinical intensives are available to help you regain emotional equilibrium, restore physiological balance, and reclaim your time and energy. Grounded in nearly 30 years of clinical experience, the Technology Treatment Practice provides personalized clinical therapy exclusively for adults who want clearer boundaries with technology and want to replace passive scrolling or streaming with intentional living.

Groups I Work With

The Intentional Technology Use Group: Reclaim Your Attention. Restore Equilibrium. This 10-week therapeutic cohort offers a welcoming, clinically guided environment dedicated to intentional technology use and screen time reduction. Working alongside peers with similar goals, participants engage in therapeutic work to interrupt compulsive screen habits, ease digital fatigue, learn to relax, and rebuild the capacity for sustained focus and mental energy. By directing time and attention back toward actual priorities, individuals reclaim their focus and establish a realistic, long-term framework for living intentionally in a highly connected world. Enrollment is limited to eight participants. Next cohort begins: October 7, 2026
