Therapy can help you feel more content, improve relationships, and create choices that are more satisfying and realistic. I work with anxiety, panic, depression, grief, insomnia, stress, and self-esteem, as well as cultural adjustment and identity concerns. My approach blends psychoanalysis, CBT, mindfulness, hypnosis, coaching, and meaning-centered psychotherapy. Many of my patients are doing fairly well but want to feel even better—more confident, organized, and connected. I see people navigating transitions, work pressures, and relationships, and those “in between worlds” seeking belonging.

Examples of issues we can work on together: Depression Loss/Separation, Anger, Conflict, Anxiety, Stress, Trauma, Self-esteem, Body Image, Gender Identity, Ethnic and Social Identity, Cultural adjustment, Childhood Issues, Relationships and loneliness, Work and school-related difficulties, Communication problems, Life crises, and Major life choices.

I invite you to reach out for an initial conversation. I offer sessions in Manhattan and online in New Jersey and Vermont, with reduced fees available for those in need. Together we can work toward greater balance, resilience, and connection.
