Helping You Heal from Trauma and PANDAS/PANS in New York State
So you can feel safe, steady, and more like yourself again
Specialized therapy for children, teens, adults, and parents across New York State
Expert support for trauma recovery and families navigating PANDAS/PANS
You don’t have to keep holding everything together on your own.
Does this feel familiar?
Does it feel like you’re constantly in survival mode—just trying to get through the day?
Maybe:
Your mind and body are always on alert
You feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted
You’re supporting a child with PANDAS/PANS whose moods, OCD, or rage can shift overnight
Your home feels unpredictable, and you’re walking on eggshells
You’ve tried strategies. You’ve pushed yourself to stay strong.
But it’s exhausting—and you’re ready for things to feel different.
I believe healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to feel this hard forever.
With the right support, your nervous system can begin to settle.
Your home can feel more stable.
You can feel more like yourself again.
My Approach to Trauma and PANDAS/PANS Therapy
With over 25 years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in helping people heal from trauma and supporting families navigating PANDAS/PANS.
I work with children, teens, adults, and parents across New York State through virtual therapy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in understanding how the nervous system shapes emotions, behavior, and healing.
Trauma Therapy
When you’ve experienced trauma, your mind and body can remain on high alert—even when you know you’re safe. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself.
In our work together, we’ll slow things down and help your nervous system feel more steady and supported.
Using EMDR and DBT, I help you:
Process painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable
Build skills to regulate intense emotions
Reconnect with a sense of safety, stability, and self-trust
We’ll also pay attention to how your nervous system responds, helping you notice patterns and feel more in control over time.
This creates space for you to feel more steady and supported in your daily life.
Over time, this work can help you feel more grounded, respond to stress with greater ease, and reconnect with a sense of confidence and stability.
Therapy for PANDAS/PANS
When your child is living with PANDAS or PANS, symptoms like OCD, anxiety, and rage can shift quickly—leaving your whole family feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to respond.
My work focuses on supporting both you and your child so that your home can begin to feel more stable and manageable.
I also recognize that these symptoms are often influenced by underlying neuroinflammation. This means therapy is not about pushing harder—it’s about supporting regulation first and working in a way that matches your child’s current capacity.
Together, we may focus on:
Helping you respond to your child in ways that reduce escalation and stress
Building emotional regulation skills using DBT-informed strategies
Supporting your child with anxiety and OCD using approaches like CBT, SPACE, and (when appropriate) ERP
Creating a more predictable, connected home environment
A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach
No two people—or families—are the same. I tailor our work to your specific needs, taking into account your experiences, your goals, and what your nervous system can handle right now.
We move at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable, so that change doesn’t feel overwhelming—but still feels possible.
