A brain-focused, skill-based approach

• Train your nervous system to be in a more harmonious state so that you get stressed/anxious less often and calm down more easily.

"More helpful than anything else I tried"

As the VP of Operations at a major lighting and furniture company in Manhattan, the daily stresses of the job compounded with my already heightened anxiety resulted in frequent debilitating panic attacks. I have never found anything more helpful than this 12-week program. Approaching anxiety from the bottom up was so effective. I have tried CBT, IFS, and "talk therapy," and never felt as though it had significant impact. Judy provided me with invaluable tactics and support. I left the program feeling more grounded, able to handle the stressors and ultimately less anxiety. 

  Alex S., VP of Operations

"Truly life-changing!"

In a short period of time, my work with Judy dissolved patterns and beliefs that were holding me back - many of which I was unaware of. Because the tools seemed so simple, I was skeptical the shifts I was experiencing would last. Not only have they lasted, but I have the tools to use anytime. 

Cecile L., Accountant

"Judy is an expert on the nervous system"

Judy has taught me skills to regulate my responses to difficult or stressful situations. I was surprised that I noticed major shifts after just a few sessions. Because I now understand what is happening physiologically when I feel "activated," I can offer myself more compassion and then apply the easy-to-use tools I learned. 

Amanda M., Nutritionist

"Working with Judy is like having a personal trainer for my nervous system!"

 Julia A., Student

"She puts complex topics into language that the average person can easily grasp"

I refer many of my patients to Judy at some point. She has a unique gift for meeting people where they are, finding the core issues that are constraining them, and coming up with tools and strategies that are both simple and profoundly effective in helping them transform their lives.

Anne Vaillant, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

"An anxiety and wellness genius"

Judy's work is pure brilliance with a good dose of gentleness, too. I am a big fan of the powerful methods she uses for anxiety relief, happiness, and trauma recovery. 

Val Nelson, Business Coach

I am an Integrative Wellness Coach, Educator, and Trainer, not a psychotherapist. The tools and approaches I use are intended to help clients learn skills to manage their nervous systems and to support them in behavior change. Skill-building and coaching support can be an effective adjunct to other forms of treatment, but they are not a substitute for appropriate medical or mental health care.
