I use my training and experience to provide real guidance to people wishing to remove blocks to personal and professional fulfillment, develop a deeper understanding of themselves, and confront negative patterns of behavior. As a professor of clinical practice with individuals, families and groups at New York University, I teach my students to appreciate both the science and the art of psychotherapy. I believe that psychotherapy is most successful in an atmosphere of warmth, humor, and nonjudgmental support. As a psychotherapist, I try to create a professional atmosphere for playful exploration.

I specialize in treating vulnerable narcissistic issues that involve low self-esteem, illness anxiety, depressive thoughts and feelings, emotional conflict, self-defeating behaviors, anxiety, alienation, and difficulties with trust.

Life can be painful and complicated at times, and so often we react instead of respond to stress. Whether you are an adult, teen, or child, emotions can be complex to navigate and difficult to manage alone. My goal is to support you through difficult moments, help you build awareness and understanding for your behaviors and feelings, gain clarity in confusing times, better understand your relationships, and ultimately help you see life in clearer terms. As a collaborator on this journey, I aim to provide a nurturing and safe environment so that you may explore your internal nature and grow in all the ways you desire.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, anti-oppressive consultant, and clinical supervisor committed to working with Queer, TGNC, BIPOC, and additionally marginalized folks.

I have a particular affinity towards assisting clients who have recently had a negative therapeutic experience with a previous therapist. I have experience working with clients with psychotic disorders, depression/anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, gender dysphoria, LGBTQ issues, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

People seek out therapy for different reasons, and I believe it's ultimately because of a desire to live at their highest potential. Life is a journey filled with experiences that can impact us in both good and bad ways; sometimes leaving us to decide if we are living a life full of joy, purpose, or personal meaning.

Feeling anxious, depressed, stressed out, stuck? It takes courage and strength to recognize that sometimes life becomes too difficult to bear alone but realizing you need help is the right step towards change.

I will help you to explore the roots of your problems and rethink the issues that are holding you back so you can understand yourself and your behavior.

There is no such thing as the ideal client. What I strive for is to make the ideal bond between client and therapist. It’s extremely important to have a comfortable, open, and honest relationship with your client to help create a positive therapeutic environment. Clients should be motivated and engaged in what they want to see as their outcomes. It is ok to come into therapy not being able to pinpoint issues that may be complicating your life. **My practice will gladly provide video visits to anyone practicing social distancing due to the spread of COVID-19.**

Life gives us challenges. These challenges can include anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, or just feeling stuck in life. However, we do not have to face these challenges alone.

New York City offers a wealth of opportunity which can also come with its own unique hardships. Life, at times, can feel a bit heavier and I am here to lighten the load.

Psychotherapy offers a wonderful opportunity to discover more about who we are and what it is that we want. Therapy should help us to find compassion for ourselves, to have patience with the unresolved and to find the courage to live more fully in the moment. This work offers us a chance to grow and evolve and be graced by the ability to view the world with less distortion, denial and illusion, and live in the freedom that comes with seeing things the way they really are.

“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.

Psychotherapy is fundamentally about discovering a deeper sense of personal meaning, greater self-understanding, and self-acceptance. It offers the possibility of coming into contact with a more enlivened state of being. Psychotherapy can help us move through life with a greater degree of freedom and flexibility, feeling more connected to ourselves and others along the way. My work is shaped by psychodynamic, existential, and holistic approaches. My complimentary background as a yoga therapist includes considerable training and expertise in embodiment and mindfulness practices, which I draw upon in my clinical work.
