Customized Therapy for Chronic Pain, Pelvic Floor Conditions, and Intimacy Challenges in Westchester County, NY and Online

Let’s talk about what often goes unspoken in healthcare…

Persistent pain, chronic illness, discomfort during intimacy, and pelvic floor symptoms affect more than just your physical health—they impact your confidence, relationships, and your ability to fully engage in the life you want to live.

You may have been through a lot to get here.

You’ve seen multiple specialists and done the exercises. You’ve been told everything “looks fine”, or that your sessions are done, and it’s time to move on. But something still doesn’t feel right. You’re left feeling unheard, unseen… like they think it’s all in your head.

Surgery and medications are not an option that you want to explore just yet

Maybe you’re not ready to go down the road of medications or surgery. You want something more natural, more empowering. You believe there’s another way to feel better, and you’re right.

Maybe you are having difficulty with intimacy

Sex may be painful or disconnected, you’re struggling with desire, or touch feels more triggering than comforting. Maybe it’s all gotten harder since menopause, after pregnancy, or during/after cancer treatment. And no one’s ever really talked about it.

You’re ready to try a new way of managing pain

You’re craving care that’s integrative, trauma-informed, and tailored to you. Because a generic home program isn’t enough. You deserve more than a printout and a pat on the back. You deserve support that sees the full picture, and walks with you every step of the way.

Natural pelvic floor therapy in Westchester County, Ossining, NY

“My goal is to equip you with the skills, insight, and confidence to support your healing—so that your progress continues well beyond our sessions”.

With over 15 years of experience as a licensed occupational therapist, and with specialized training in pelvic health, intimacy, and trauma-informed care, I help people with chronic pain finally start feeling like themselves again, naturally.

I don’t shy away from the stuff no one else wants to talk about.

Painful sex? Difficulty with arousal? Feeling disconnected from your partner? Leaking when you laugh?
Yeah, we go there.

This is therapy designed to support you—not overwhelm you. I’ve built my practice around a different kind of care—one that honors the whole person, not just a set of symptoms.

My goal isn’t to keep you in therapy indefinitely, in fact I get results much faster because of the focussed time I spend with each patient. Each session is a full hour dedicated entirely to you. We work together to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and apply evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique body and life.
