I'm licensed in New York and specialize in stress, anxiety, as well as relationship and career issues.
People who work best with me are those who feel caught in between what the world tells them they should be and what they want for themselves. You’ve been thinking about how to take that next step to break free, but you’re still hoping for clarity, and likely a sense of certainty of what you’ll encounter. You have a hunch that pushing through despite not knowing what’s ahead is the way to go, and a little more than a nudge would go a long way.

Using REBT, CBT, and the Gottman Method, we will uncover the irrational beliefs driving your anxiety and relationship patterns.
Are you tired of therapy that just feels like venting? You want more than someone simply nodding while you spiral—you want real, actionable change. Many of the thoughts quietly running your life were handed to you by family, religion, or society. Along the way, you picked them up and called them truth. I know what it’s like to confuse distorted thinking for self-awareness—believing "I must be perfect" or "I am broken." As an openly gay therapist, I’ve navigated these narratives personally. Together, we will dismantle the beliefs keeping you stuck, creating a safe space to actively heal from minority stress and shame.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
