Therapists in New York

Psychotherapy is a deeply personal journey into getting to know yourself. The start of treatment is truly an important first step into understanding yourself and your past, finding ways to cope with your current struggles, and ultimately improving your overall quality of life. I specialize in helping people to manage emotional and anxiety-related difficulties, as these tend to strongly impact interpersonal relationships and general life-satisfaction. My goal is to meet you where you are while guiding you in getting to the root of these issues so that we can work collaboratively toward your treatment goals.

Coming for therapy can be one of the most important investments one can make. We often take the time to invest when considering purchasing a car or a home. However, when it comes to investing in oneself, we too often are found lacking. This self-care is the very foundation in which everything else depends upon. If we are not taken care of, it negatively impacts our ability to take care of anything else.
