I have worked with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma/PTSD, and a variety of other life circumstances. Ideally, you are ready to jump in, even when things get tough, and will communicate openly to keep moving forward. Together, we’ll set and adjust goals as needs evolve, celebrating progress along the way. My clients stay dedicated, even when faced with setbacks, and are always open to setting new goals as they achieve new milestones.
I draw from a range of approaches, customizing to fit each client’s unique needs and lifestyle. My goal is to create a positive, productive space for growth, while also respecting any methods you’ve tried in the past. Above all, I’m here to help and support you every step of the way!
I take pride in providing the best possible care, during hours that make sense for the busy New Yorker. Many people struggle to see a therapist due to work demands. I am regularly available for appointments on weekends and evenings. Please reach out! I'm always interested in connecting to see if we'd be a good fit and look forward to hearing from you.
