It's your life. It is important. Figuring things out for yourself doesn't mean you must do it alone. Therapy helps reconnect to fundamentals, grow from pain, and cultivate wellness. Your therapist is your partner on the journey. We help you build pathways, forge deeper connections, build relationships, and live authentically. We tune into the core of the matter and acknowledge the impacts of your history and society.

I believe therapy can help us navigate our lowest moments and achieve our greatest happiness, whether in relationships, careers, or within ourselves. It gives us the freedom to take chances and break negative patterns. Emphasizing collaboration, compassion, and encouragement, I work with individual adults, teens, children, couples, and families. Relationship conflict, anxiety and depression, trauma and grief are among my areas of specialty. I often work with those driven to achieve — offering help coping with pressure, finding fulfillment, and understanding how past experiences can influence the present in subtle yet powerful ways.

Usually, the choice to pursue therapy comes at a time when we feel deeply disconnected, unable to re-center and re-connect on our own. Maybe the obligations you carry leave you exhausted and unfulfilled; perhaps it seems those you live with cannot really see you and don’t appreciate your efforts; or maybe your life has been turned upside-down by illness, the loss of a loved one, or a romantic break-up. Maybe you’re not sure why you feel off-balance, you just know something is wrong. Whatever your story, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and related conditions. Anxiety, OCD, and related symptoms have been the full focus of my clinical work and research for more than 15 years. I directed the Anxiety and OCD Clinics at Johns Hopkins before opening my own practice. I also directed the cognitive-behavioral therapy training program for Hopkins psychiatry residents. Prior to this, I provided intensive treatment for anxiety and OCD at the Menninger OCD Program. As my practice has grown over the years, it now includes OCD and anxiety speciality practices in both Manhattan and Baltimore.

I work with my clients to both heal and unlock their potential, with a firm belief that insight into one’s state leads to affective and behavioral change. I am training to work with adolescents and adults who present with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, career transitions, grief, relationship difficulties, and family conflict. I help individuals across all cultural and racial backgrounds and am LBGTQ affirming.

For 15 years, I was a NYC public school teacher working in specialized high schools and that experience has informed my understanding of how our intersectional identities influence how we comfortably we move in our world today. I believe that personal, cultural and societal narratives can influence who we are and what we believe we can achieve. I use an anti-bias trauma informed lens and techniques to help all people navigate life’s provocations. I am also an avid gamer and use video & tabletop games, RPGs and other staples of Geek culture in my work with some clients to build empowering metaphors of their life experience.

Great psychotherapy doesn't require spending years on the couch. Our contemporary, action-oriented approach means we'll roll up our sleeves and get right to work, giving you meaningful, relevant input you can put to use in making changes today.

Growing up as a child of immigrants, I have seen the challenges and pressures in my community as one attempts to assimilate into their current society while holding on to a culture that is so much of who they are. Striking a balance between meeting cultural expectations and forging your own path can be an obstacle towards achieving personal happiness. Even asking for help can be considered a sign of weakness- “I don’t really need therapy.” Perhaps you don’t “need” it, but you may have decided you want to make things better for yourself. So here we are, let’s start this journey together.

I am a dually licensed psychotherapist in NY state (LCAT#002007 + LMHC#011627.) I hold graduate training from NYU, as well as Advanced Post-Graduate training from Johns Hopkins University. I work in a private group practice in TriBeCa, Manhattan, and I provide remote tele-therapy services, as well.

I've maintained a psychotherapy private practice in Lower Manhattan for more than eighteen years, and about ten years ago moved to an office in a loft in TriBeCa. As a former corporate lawyer, I've developed a sub-specialty in working with attorneys and finance professionals around career issues, but I'm also gay and have worked with LGBT people and all sorts of other people around just about anything. I welcome one and all.

Find all your relationship questions answered. Psychotherapy is a relationship therapy, where you can find help and guidance in a safe and accepting atmosphere. Whether it's a relationship with others or ourselves, it's always complex; often complicated and confusing due to our past and present experiences. My approach is tailored to your specific needs and we will work at your pace. My style has been described as warm, non-judgmental, engaged, easy to talk to. Working together, I will help you find the answers you are looking for and help you make the positive changes.

It’s easy to feel lost in early adulthood. We have to find our way in the world, but often without a guide or even a signpost of what direction we need to go towards. We have to build healthy relationships, find fulfilling work and create a meaningful life - it's easy and normal for our past to get in the way of knowing what's really right and good for us. Sometimes we get stuck in anxiety, depression, or loneliness and can’t see the way out. It’s exceptionally brave to seek support around difficult life situations, relationship issues, or a constant feeling of overwhelm and unfulfillment.

We are a group of talented professionals, and we offer our clients a warm and deeply caring therapeutic relationship. Expert clinical supervision enriches the work of our therapists. The methods we use are active, and you will feel that you are making progress in each session. Our training and experience make it possible. Come and talk to us. Solutions and changes are within reach! At our Brooklyn locations, we also work with children, couples and families.

Haley provides evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults. She has had the opportunity to provide care in private practice, school, and medical settings. This array of experiences has fostered her ability to understand clients through a multi-disciplinary lens and draw upon a multitude of evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Prevention-Focused Care, Crisis Intervention, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention. She utilizes these therapies to target anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, trauma, and executive functioning deficits.

“Everything can be taken from us but one thing, the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” — Viktor Frankl. It is my firm belief that we free ourselves to think and act in new ways when we are willing to embrace the exploration of the self and develop insights into the motivations behind our behavior. We will work together to build a shared understanding of the obstacles that you are facing, whether that means improving your interpersonal relationships, exploring your identity/sexuality/spirituality, strengthening your self esteem, finding motivation and success in your career, navigating overwhelming and traumatic experiences, or identifying maladaptive patterns that may be acting as barriers to the life you want. I offer both short and long term psychotherapy to adolescents and adults seeking assistance with anxiety, mood disorders, mood dysregulation, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, ADHD, substance abuse, anger, impulsivity, highly sensitive temperament, and psychoeducation related to psychiatric medication management.
