Whether anxiety has your mind in overdrive, depression is making everything feel heavy, or stress and burnout are wearing you down, it can feel hard to see a path forward. Maybe you're second-guessing everything or feeling disconnected from what once brought joy. It’s exhausting to do this alone - but you don’t have to.
I help adults navigate anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and big life transitions. I work especially well with deep feelers, overthinkers, and those who’ve always taken care of others but are now wondering, when is it my turn to feel okay?
I offer in-person sessions in Park Slope and telehealth across New York.

Do you feel stuck in therapy, wondering why things aren’t shifting the way you hoped? Maybe no matter how much insight you gain, your emotions still hijack your life, leaving you exhausted. It’s frustrating when you’re doing everything “right” and still feel stuck. If you’re looking for a different kind of therapy, you’re in the right place. Deep patterns of anxiety, stress, and emotional turmoil don’t just live in the mind—they live in the body. Healing isn’t about trying harder; it’s about going deeper. When we engage the whole mind-body system, real transformation happens, and you can move beyond just coping to truly thriving.

I am a psychotherapist who takes a holistic and integrative approach, blending Mindfulness, CBT, IFS, psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapies. I tailor therapy to meet each person’s unique developmental and emotional needs. I provide a compassionate and safe space where clients can explore their emotions, identify behaviors and beliefs that limit their growth, release emotional blockages, and cultivate self-compassion.

My approach is grounded in the belief that therapy works best not by giving quick fixes, but by creating a space where we can slow down together and get curious about what's underneath the surface; your patterns, your pain, your hopes, and the parts of you that may have been left behind along the way.
As a full-time therapist in psychoanalytic training, I believe therapy is not just about symptom relief, it’s about becoming more fully yourself. Not the version shaped by pressure, fear, or survival, but the version that feels true, alive, and whole.

I am adept at helping clients navigate through feelings of depression, low self-esteem, relationship and familial discord, and anxiety.
Adolescence can be a time of uncertainty and confusion. We question our identity, sexuality, sexual orientation, and what it means to emerge into adulthood. We have questions without easy answers. We begin new relationships while others change. These are a mere few topics I discuss with my clients to reach a healthier, happier place.

The combined daily pressure of it all can lead to anxiety, relationship issues, lower self-esteem and shorter fuses.
I believe in the transformative power of empathy, while combining evidence-based methods (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help fight those challenges.
Therapy should empower individuals, and my job is to work myself out of a job. This means I focus on equipping my clients with the tools and skills they need to manage life's difficulties independently.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I tend to work well with people who: 1) want a space to “get it all out” and share openly with a third party, 2) learn more about their mind or emotions and how they work, 3) collaborate with someone to gain a fresh perspective, and 4) find solutions or gain tools to manage their issues that lead to the alleviation of distress.

My aim is to join with my clients in an inquiry that will eventually lead them to finding their own best answers to the essential questions of their lives. My approach is psychodynamic and is informed by attachment theory and the teachings of mindfulness, among other things. In other words, I'll likely be interested in your past as well as your present!

I also have experience working with individuals on specific issues related to low self esteem, stress, transitions, career related obstacles, and relationship challenges.
As a psychodynamically oriented therapist, I will help you explore themes and patterns in your life and relationships. Through an understanding of your values, identity, past experiences, and relationships with others, we can work together to develop a plan for our work together.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, conflicts, boundary setting, or trauma.
Here’s what working together might look like: We take time to build comfort with each other so that you can share vulnerably knowing you won't be judged. I'll offer empathy and encourage you to identify your physical sensations, emotions, and needs. I'll also ask where in your life you'd like to make changes. Our work together will be collaborative—you’ll drive & I’ll be an attentive, caring passenger who will ask questions and give honest feedback. In other words: sometimes I'll listen, nod, and beam empathy; and I'll also have a conversation with you to bring your thoughts beliefs, fears, hopes, and patterns to light.

In my practice, I believe that the most profound healing happens when you feel truly seen and understood without judgment. I work with individuals who feel like they are constantly navigating a world that wasn't built for them; whether that’s due to the weight of past trauma, the daily "static" of ADHD, or the heavy, cycling exhaustion of anxiety and depression. In addition to a Forensic Mental Health Counseling background, I am also a certified clinical trauma professional and an ADHD-certified clinical services provider.

I believe that therapy should feel like a soft place to land throughout your week, where you feel challenged, uplifted, and deeply understood. I aim to create a safe and affirming space where you feel free to bring your full self, and to explore what’s been weighing on you without needing to filter or perform. I tend to work with artists, creatives, and helper-types who feel inherently sensitive and attuned to the world around them, and are seeking a collaborative space that goes beyond talk therapy and honors their unique stories and needs. My approach integrates EMDR and parts-work within a relational, psychodynamic framework.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
