Boutique Therapy Practice — Serving New York & South Florida
Founded in Manhattan’s Flatiron–NoMad District, The Business of Healing™ is now a boutique, virtual-first therapy practice serving clients across New York and South Florida. Sessions are held securely through HIPAA-compliant Zoom, with in-person sessions in Miami Beach coming soon.
Clinical Rigor Meets Survivor Expertise
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State, I bring both clinical rigor and am atypical as a visible survivor in the field of trauma-informed care.
I specialize in helping adults move through trauma — from sexual assault and coercive control to the quiet weight of anxiety, depression, and childhood instability. Over half of my clients are men, many of whom come to me to work through impulsive or numbing behaviors, anxiety, or long-ignored depression.
Many of my clients arrive after feeling unseen in other settings; here, therapy is individualized, trauma-informed, and designed with containment and depth at its center.
Healing is possible. I’m here to walk with you toward it.
What is Trauma-Informed Hospitality? For Hotels, Resorts & Gyms
Before I became a therapist, I worked in hospitality operations in the early 2000s (when I first came to NYC), managing places like the original Soho House in Manhattan — simply The Soho House back then. Between launching boutique hotels, including openings in Miami Beach, I gained a sharp understanding of professional front-of-house smoothness. At the same time, the industry was riddled with abuse — especially gender-based violence — an ironic oxymoron. Today, I combine the science of service with trauma-informed approaches, offering on-site trainings that create psychological safety for both staff and guests/clients. That kind of psychological safety is magnetic — it’s the key to client retention. Not to mention, my trainings detail the steps to taking a public zero-tolerance stance on gender-based violence, woven into your brand and operations in 2025. There’s no better reputation enhancer than being truly trauma-informed.
Justice is therapeutic. Labeling abuse is therapeutic.
When legal providers affirm abuse occurred, they trigger the early stages of healing.
Honor being part of a healing story:
The 2008 version of rape as only physical assault is grossly outdated. Learn the advances in trauma in this inherently clinical field — woven with survivor-led expertise.
Trauma & Gender-Based Violence Certificate For litigators, hospitality leaders, and gyms
Litigators: Honor Being the Start of a Healing Story
For litigators handling sexual assault cases, hyper-focusing on evidence of physical injury with psychological harm as a “side order” is a disservice to survivors — and unethical.
The literature is clear:
PTSD causes lifelong health damage, both physiological and psychological, resulting in poorer prognosis and shorter life expectancy.
When one survivor wins in court, we all win. We’re closing in.
Clinical accuracy, presented through survivor expertise, provides the kind of smooth education that strengthens sexual assault cases and reflects the advanced knowledge we now hold about trauma and gender-based violence in 2025. Learn with us, take the Trauma & GBV Cert.
