Philosophy and Approach:

My experience confirms that each of us has innate wisdom longing to guide our lives towards greater freedom, connection, and well-being. Though not in control of many things, we can free ourselves from behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that repeat unfulfilling patterns. Strategies that kept us safe in childhood may get in our way as adults. Being able to live in your body and express who you are is essential.

I am queer, bicultural first-generation Italian-American with a chronic illness. Using an open, curiosity-driven mindset, my approach to counseling respects your life experiences as they intersect with your circumstances and the sociopolitical systems that impact them. I hold a non-punitive harm reduction view of addictive behaviors.

Your body is a gateway to resolving trauma and integrating emotions. I use Trauma-informed, mindfulness based mindbody (somatic) interventions. When appropriate, we may combine movement and physical activity to build awareness, help you regulate intense feelings, work with trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, or depression.

You can expect that I will listen deeply to you and challenge you to expand beyond your perceived limitations. I use a psychodynamic orientation which means we use the therapeutic relationship itself to explore your patterns. I may include IFS (Internal Family Systems), ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior/Cognitive Therapy), Gestalt, Somatic, and existentially oriented interventions.

As a long time student of Eastern wisdom traditions, my work is informed by Buddhist psychology, Taoism, and Qigong - a Chinese mindful movement healing practice which supports health and wellbeing. I have also studied spirituality in counseling, Christian mysticism, and Kabbalah. I draw on my experience in meditation to support my life and work.

Before becoming a counselor, I was a professional ballet dancer, performer, radio host, and a professional writer. After retiring from the stage, I spent 25 years as a movement therapist and Certified Pilates teacher for people with chronic pain, injuries, and neurological disabilities. I speak Italian and French. I’m LGBTQA+ positive, body positive, sex and kink positive.

Formal Education and Training:

Coursework emphasized Rehabilitation Counseling, Medical Aspects of Disability, Multicultural Perspectives, person-based and trauma informed treatment modalities, as well as Spiritual Counseling, Diagnosis and Treatment Planning, Legal and Ethical Issues, Foundations of Couples, Marriage, and Family Counseling, Sexuality, Psychopharmacology and Addictions, Social Security Disability Law, Career and Lifestyle Planning, Occupational/Vocational Analysis, and Group Counseling.
