Having spent 25 years in the corporate world at Credit Suisse, McKinsey & Company, and in a start-up venture enables me to bring the analytical skills, pattern recognition abilities and clear, direct communication to my therapy practice. I use this unique perspective to address anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist who uses multiple approaches to give you new insights and tools to feel good about your future choices.

Do you have an innate drive to be the best, yet no matter the achievement you struggle to feel happy? Are you self-reflective and self-aware, yet feel a lack of connection and acceptance to who you are? You’re not alone. My focus of our therapeutic collaboration is the importance of reconnecting with the inner self. Together, we’ll explore unconscious needs and desires to challenge negative thought patterns helping you push past perceived barriers and evoke change.

Ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing amidst life's challenges? Let's unlock your inner strengths and navigate through issues like trauma, anxiety, low-self esteem, life transitions, and relational struggles together. I am a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a National Certified Counselor, committed to fostering empathy and collaboration in therapy. My approach ensures that each session provides a safe and nurturing space for exploration and growth, utilizing an eclectic method tailored to your individual needs.

At the heart of my work, I collaborate with you in tending to your emotional life, helping you build resilience while cultivating sustainable happiness. I work with individuals, parents, couples, people searching for healthy relationships, anyone seeking to effect change, and people overwhelmed by maladaptive patterns in their lives. Drawing from my training and life experience, we'll work skillfully and compassionately, together, toward achieving your goals. With a profound belief in the capacity for people to transform themselves, I can create a safe place to heal and grow.

I strive to be a therapist who is challenging and direct without being judgmental; is open-minded and encouraging of my clients to explore options in their lives that may be different than my own or others around them. I am someone who doesn't rush to diagnose and pathologize, but rather seeks to understand. I am not invested in the choices my clients make, I am invested in my clients making choices from a place of wholeheartedness. And specifically, I have a keen understanding of the intricacies of intimacy and sexuality within relationship to oneself and community. As long as we "fail forward" together, we are perfectly imperfect

I work with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Others seek help because they suffer with a sense of disconnection or find themselves repeating unhealthy patterns despite their best effort to change. What we fail to realize is that these symptoms and patterns are often trying to tell us about something essential within ourselves that we had to push aside in our effort to get along and succeed, or they can reflect traumatic experiences from our past that had been too overwhelming to assimilate. Often the original meanings are buried deep within our unconscious with only these symptoms as a trace.

When you feel stuck or experience anxiety, insecurity, sadness, a loss of meaning, or complex feelings that are not easy to explain and to understand - it helps to talk about it and to process emotions in a safe, respectful, and supportive co-created environment. You know intrinsically that there’s a way out of painful experiences, but you don’t know which path to take, or sometimes life is going well, but you feel that it has much more to offer. Whatever the obstacle to your desired life: transition, loss, trauma, stress, identity crisis, or difficult relationship, there is always a way forward.

Greetings. I’m wondering what brings you to my doorstep! In this complicated world, it's important to take care of yourself, so I’m glad you’re here.

You can live a life that excites you. Do past events seem to be affecting you in the present day? Do you feel as if you are re-experiencing past trauma or currently going through angst? It can always get better no matter how difficult your situation appears to be. Peeling the layers of trauma takes courage, strength, and inner power. You may be struggling with intrusive thoughts, guilt, and wondering what you can do differently. If you’re looking to release the grip of trauma and have a better quality of life, let’s work together to explore what may be affecting you and find ways for you to move past it.

I provide a warm and safe yet dynamic environment in which my clients express their innermost thoughts, gain insight, heal wounds and learn to live with more confidence, humor and joy. With 25 years of supervising and clinical experience with children, adults and couples, I am able to quickly attune and help clients feel at ease. I listen closely to my client’s thoughts, fears and dreams while helping them to make meaningful connections that strengthen their sense of self. While deep inner work generally takes time, some positive change can be anticipated rapidly.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. Within a non-judgmental space that feels safe, supportive, and empathetic, we dedicate ourselves to the exploration of inner life experiences and associated emotions and behaviors. The goal is to be heard and understood while progressing thoughtfully toward desired change by integrating various therapeutic techniques, including talk-therapy (psychodynamic), trauma-informed (EMDR and RTM), mindfulness and somatic (body centered) approaches. As a twin, I also specialize in twin-loss, in all stages of bereavement.

Finding the key to happiness, I have always believed, comes from understanding yourself and coming to terms with who you are. I work very compassionately, without judgment, in a collaborative fashion, to help facilitate greater self- acceptance and equanimity. Whether we investigate your own family dynamics or process through Emotionally Focused Therapy, sessions will help uncover the underlying emotional beliefs that direct your own internal "story".

My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgemental space where you feel comfortable to be your authentic self and express your feelings. I support clients struggling with anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, depression, substance use, relationship issues, and life transitions. I believe each individual is unique and I will tailor treatment to your needs in a warm and supportive environment. Together we will work towards finding your strength and improving your life by exploring your past, gain insight into yourself, learn coping skills to make actionable changes, and working towards self-acceptance.

I am excited that you are here and pursuing or continuing your journey with therapy. As a therapist, I passionately believe in creating space for people and their stories. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, childhood and relational trauma, identity issues, job stress, relationship issues, and life transitions. I have worked with with teenagers and adults, as well as first-generation immigrants, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ folks. I utilize various modalities in my work including psychodynamic, IFS, and mindfulness techniques.

If you are reading this as, chances are, you’ve tried just about everything and still feel angry, depressed, lonely, and overwhelmed. My therapeutic style is dynamic, genuine, and practical. I like to call it out with kindness when you are going off track, I will give you encouragement when you are making positive progress, I will also give you tangible and intangible skills to make progress. My aim is to help you focus on the process of self improvement, identify unhealthy patterns, and understand the underlying causes of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Clients often arrive at my door carrying it all on their backs wishing to make sense of their experiences, and their stories. They are uncertain of how they've gotten to be where they are. They wish to know themselves wholly. They wish to live deliberately and to know where they belong. They hope to trust themselves. They crave an authentic connection to self. They seek permission to rest. They long for freedom and to feel empowered when they look in the mirror. They have been through the thick of it, have had to become resilient and feel called to finally come home to themselves with love and gentleness.
