I believe in providing strong and positive support to help people to heal and grow. I believe that it is the client who does the healing and that I am a support, guide, and witness to their own process. It has been my honor to watch many people who have been suffering from the effects of trauma heal, flourish, and begin to live full and happy lives with good treatment.

It takes courage to contact a psychotherapist. One's deepest thoughts and feelings are often uncomfortable, and making room for them can be difficult. If you’re here, though, you’re ready for a change, and I'm happy to help with that! I believe people are wired for growth and healing and that within the security of a trusting relationship, you can learn to honor your most authentic self. We explore whatever you are grappling with, whether it be anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, trauma, chronic illness, parenting, or existential questions about the life you want to lead. Nothing is off the table! I am driven by my client's needs and aspirations and grounded in evidence-based modalities, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment models, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I am also trained in climate-conscious therapy and am active with the Climate Psychology Alliance North America. I see adults, couples, older teens, and families. I am licensed in NY and MA and for telehealth in FL. Through empathic listening, thoughtful questioning, and honest feedback, I strive to help my clients attain greater insight, develop goals that are aligned with their desires, and thrive. It would be great to hear from you!

I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years, working with individuals couples and families. I work with individuals and families dealing with a wide range of issues, and with both traditional and non traditional families. Who ever I am working with, I pay attention to the context of people's lives and the importance of the significant relationships in our lives. As a family and couple therapist I work with the ways our interaction patterns serve to promote healing, and the ways that those patterns help to maintain problems. In difficult times both individuals and families can become focused on their problems, and the more positive parts of our lives can become diminished. I think that one of the important tasks of therapy is to help people to focus on and utilize their strengths and resources

I work with adults and couples, offering mental health counseling services from a trauma-informed and collaborative stance. I use experiential approaches that foster self-examination and self-compassion, on the one hand, and that facilitate growth (reflected in behavioral change or a shift of attitudes or mindset). I work with clients (age: 21+) interested in emotional self-regulation, in learning and practicing assertive and mindful communication, and who look forward to the gradual embodying of their therapeutic learning.

You deserve a life of happiness and health. Together we can understand your life, then craft a plan that addresses the source of your stress. Are you overwhelmed, or unsure how to achieve your goals? Therapy is a powerful tool that can resolve the difficulties you face. It strengthens coping skills and self-esteem.

Finding balance in life is not always easy, especially when you are carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or overwhelming transitions. If you feel stuck or unsure of how to move forward, you are not alone. My role is to offer a supportive, steady space where you can explore what is going on beneath the surface and begin to make meaningful change. I work with children, teens, and adults, tailoring therapy to each person’s needs, goals, and strengths. Whether we are working on building healthier coping strategies, improving communication, or learning to set boundaries, I believe that therapy should feel collaborative and compassionate. You bring your story, and I bring my training and experience. Together, we figure out what works for you. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and shaped by a deep respect for each person’s capacity for growth. I also understand how hard it can be to feel truly seen, especially for those navigating identity development, relationship challenges, or the lasting impact of trauma. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with your values, rediscover your voice, and build a life that feels more grounded and authentic.

I believe in the power of people. I believe all people have within us the power to fuel great amounts of suffering, to secretly endure vast amounts of pain, and, thankfully, with the right conditions - to be able to heal ourselves and rediscover our unlimited potential. This is what I have learned through my own healing journeys, what I have seen in decades of work with various different people in NYC, and what I continue to see and be inspired by in each of the people and couples I work with now in psychotherapy. I am not a fan of the modern "medical model" of mental illness, which seems to come more and more from power dynamics in our current society and economy more than a deep understanding of the human condition and what it means to become one's true, best self in a complicated world. Rather, I embrace the perspective that our "symptoms" and "disorders" are actually useful clues to how we are out of balance with our best selves, and they become useful signposts which light one's own personal path to healing. I believe there is much out of balance with our modern human society and that this has effects on all of us. I believe our species is social by nature - that relationships sustain us, heal us, and also can be where we feel pains most sharply. The very things which allow us to connect with others are also those which make us vulnerable to injury. Most of us have been affected by our childhoods, times of dependence on others, etc. in ways which may have altered our own ability to even know our own true best self: how to find it, nurture it, support it, and have it thrive in balanced connections with the outside world. I have found the deeply personal process of psychotherapy to be the single most effective way to find, heal and care for our best selves.
